Inspiration...Heather Blazer

Fashion seems to be trending to matching jackets/pants again.  Here is a wonderful jacket:


This is the Lafayette 148 New York Heathered Single Breasted Blazer.  Price tag: $1498.00.  Details:   24 1/2-inches from shoulder to hem,  notched lapel, single-breasted front, long sleeves, vertical waist darts, front flap pockets, rounded front hem, relaxed fit, unlined, wool/polyester/acrylic blend.  

That price seems kinda high for an unlined jacket.  You could probably get away with it being unlined as long as you had long sleeves under it.  Otherwise, I would be afraid that it might be itchy.  There really is not any way to know unless you can actually see it.  

Here is my first thought of a jacket pattern:


This is Silhouette Patterns #1900 4 Button Jacket.  I would respace the button to three and adjust the pockets.  

The following pattern is the one I would really be tempted to do:



This is McCall's 7818.  

Noticed that the jacket has matching trousers.  If this is the look that you want, be sure to purchase enough fabric to make them.  Hope you are inspired to sew something wonderful. 

Happy Stitching!
