The new jacket is coming along well. I have been making it up as I go rather than using a pattern, and though it looks somewhat more severe than I’d intended, it’s pretty much coming out according to plan: a hip-length, four-button jacket with a banded collar and a single vent, done in heavy canvas, black with tan details. It’ll be lined, and I’m planning a pair of welt pockets with flaps. I haven’t decided what to do with the cuffs yet – perhaps turned-back with contrasting fabric, perhaps a strap…
Can’t wait to see it!
