To get the measurement tape to be 100 % accurate, you have to print out the pattern in full scale (and not use the print option "fit to page").
GARTER ST (back and forth):
K all rows. 1 ridge = 2 rows K.
PATTERN:
See diagram A.1 and A.2 (choose diagram for correct size). The diagrams show all rows in pattern seen from RS.
DECREASE TIP:
All dec are done from RS! Dec inside 1 st K and 1 edge st in garter st.
Dec as follows when 2 sts remain before 1 K st and 1 edge st in garter st: K 2 tog.
Dec as follows after 1 sts in garter st and 1 sts: Slip 1 st as if to K, K 1, psso.
INCREASE TIP:
All inc are done from RS.
Inc inside 1 edge st in garter st and 1 K by making 1 YO. On next row P YO twisted to avoid holes.
MEASURING TIP 1 (applies for body and back piece):
To get the correct proportions on the jacket make all length measurements when work lies flat. Because of the weight of the yarn and the garter sts on the yoke the work will stretch approx. 10 cm in total length to what is shown on the schematic drawing.
MEASURING TIP 2 (applies for sleeves):
Because of the weight of the yarn make all length measurements while holding the piece up.
BUTTONHOLES:
Dec for 6 buttonholes on right front piece (from RS): Work 4 sts, cast off 2 sts for button hole, work 6-6-6-8-8-8 sts, cast of the next 2 sts for buttonhole = 2 buttonholes on same row (4 sts remain on band). On next row cast on 2 new sts over the cast off sts.
Dec for buttonholes when piece measures:
SIZE S: 36, 45, 54 cm
SIZE M: 38, 47, 56 cm
SIZE L: 40, 49, 58 cm
SIZE XL: 42, 51, 60 cm
SIZE XXL: 44, 53, 62 cm
SIZE XXXL: 46, 55, 64 cm

BACK PIECE:
The piece is worked back and forth on circular needle because of no of sts.
Cast on 61-65-71-75-81-87 sts (incl 1 edge st in each side) on circular needle size 7 mm with Eskimo. Work in GARTER ST - see explanation above, for 5-5-5-6-6-6 cm (1st row = RS). Switch to circular needle size 8 mm and work next row from RS as follows: 1 edge st in garter st, 19-21-22-24-25-28 sts in stocking st, work pattern according to diagram A.2 2 times in total (choose diagram for correct size = 2 repetitions of 10-10-12-12-14-14 sts), work in stocking st until 1 st remains on row and finish with 1 edge st in garter st. Continue like this with stocking st, pattern and 1 edge st in garter st in each side. REMEMBER THE KNITTING TENSION When piece measures 8-8-8-10-10-10 cm, dec 1 st in each side - READ DECREASE TIP (= 2 sts dec) and MEASURING TIP 1. Repeat dec in each side every 7-7-8-10-10-10 cm a total of 7-7-7-6-6-6 times = 47-51-57-63-69-75 sts. Continue to work until piece measures 61-63-65-67-69-71 cm. Now cast off for armholes at beg of every row in each side as follows: Cast off 3 sts 1 time, 2 sts 0-0-1-2-3-4 times and 1 st 1-2-2-3-3-3 times = 39-41-43-43-45-47 sts. When piece measures 78-81-84-87-90-93 cm, cast off the middle 9-9-11-11-11-13 sts for neck and finish each shoulder separately. Continue to cast off 1 st on next row from neck = 14-15-15-15-16-16 sts remain on the shoulder. Loosely cast off all sts when piece measures 80-83-86-89-92-95 cm. Repeat on the other shoulder.

Cast on 40-42-44-48-52-54 sts (incl 1 edge st in the side and 18-18-18-20-20-20 band sts towards mid front) on circular needle size 7 mm with Eskimo. Work first row as follows from RS: Work A.1 over the first 18-18-18-20-20-20 sts (= band), then work in garter st over the remaining 22-24-26-28-32-34 sts. Continue with A.1 over band and garter st over the remaining sts for 5-5-5-6-6-6 cm. Switch to circular needle size 8 mm and work next row from RS as follows: A.1 over the first 18-18-18-20-20-20 sts as before, 2 sts in stocking st, work A.2 (choose diagram for correct size = 1 repetition of 10-10-12-12-14-14 sts), work in stocking st until 1 st remains on row and finish with 1 edge st in garter st. Continue like this with stocking st, pattern and 1 edge st in garter st towards the side. When piece measures 8-8-8-10-10-10 cm, dec in the side as on back piece.

When piece measures 55-57-59-61-63-65 cm - REMEMBER MEASURING TIP 1, work in garter st over all sts (also over the 18-18-18-20-20-20 band sts) until finished measurements.

Continue to cast off for neck at beg of every row from neck as follows: Cast off 2 sts 1 time and then 1 st 2-2-2-3-3-3 times in total = 14-15-15-15-16-16 sts remain on shoulder.

Switch to circular needle size 8 mm and work in stocking st with 1 edge st in garter st in each side. When piece measures 8-8-8-8-10-12 cm, inc 1 st in each side - READ INCREASE TIP (= 2 sts inc) and MEASURING TIP 2. Repeat inc every 7?-6-6-5-4?-3? cm 6-7-7-8-8-9 times in total = 38-42-44-46-50-52 sts. When piece measures 48-48-47-45-44-43 cm (NOTE: Shorter measurements in the larger sizes because of longer sleeve cap and wider shoulders), cast off for sleeve cap at beg of every row in each side as follows: Cast off 3 sts 1 time, 2 sts 1-2-2-2-2-2 time and 1 st 2-2-3-3-3-3 times.
