Hi all, any one have pattern suggestions to make a bomber/flight jacket like this? I’ve found a bunch via search and on pattern review.com but no idea which ones are good to make. I like the collar, pleated pockets and I’d like a lining. Any suggestions??
I’m relatively new to the community and really appreciate all the engagement!
Hey all,
Just sharing pics of a jacket I made for Mother’s Day. Wiksten Unfolding Jacket, now discontinued, Haori inspired. Made from Sashiko/Kendo fabric from BigZ here in LA and two different Japanese fabrics from a quilting shop in the Valley. Everything 100% cotton and super soft. Kendo fabric is washed but continues to bleed.
I like it so much I want one for myself but the sizing on this pattern doesn’t fit quite right for men.
Thanks to the group for past guidance on my Chore coat, this question is about a shirt fit. I did a muslin of a size 40 and see some fit issues in the armhole area but otherwise not noticing much else. Thinking it needs a shoulder slope adjustment that will slightly lower the armhole as well. It is “fitted” versus roomy though.
The question I’m struggling with is would you recommend fixing the shoulder slope to adjust the drag lines or go up a size in the pattern and see how it looks? This pattern offers 10 sizes with comparatively modest changes between the sizes versus other patterns. I like the shoulder width on this size so if I go up a size, I’d like to use this shoulder width. I’m definitely anxious to *make* something!
Photos attached plus the latest chore coat, in blue this time.
Thanks!
