Inspiration...Trucker Jacket

There is nothing like a nice jacket.  Here's the latest find:

This is the Theory Herringbone Melange Trucker Jacket. Price tag:  $455.00.  This jacket is a linen/viscose blend with your typical jean jacket styling.  Be sure to head over to Neiman Marcus to see the various ways it is styled.

As for the pattern, let's try this one:

This is #900 Carol's Jacket/Top pattern by Silhouettes.  You would need to lengthen a bit, add pockets, and change the sleeve a bit.

This is Butterick 6390.  It is similar to the inspiration picture.  The yokes are a little bit different but you have bust pockets. 

Kwik Sew has a nice jean jacket pattern that is out of print. If you can find that, it would also be a good option.  Of course, if you already have a similar jacket pattern that is already in the stash and hopefully fitted, that would be the best option.

Hope you're inspired to make something beautiful.

Happy Stitching!
