Continuing with the spring theme...If you start by January, you should have the spring/summer wardrobe done by the time the warm weather starts. Here is a nice looking linen jacket:
This is the Check-Print Single Breasted Blazer by Lafayette 148 New York. Price tag: $998.00. Details: Approximately 28-inches from shoulder to hem, notched lapel, single-breasted front, long sleeves, chest patch pocket, front slip pockets, rounded front hem, center back vent, relaxed fit, cotton/linen, unlined. For reference, model is 5'10".
This is a great linen jacket. The fabric might be difficult to locate but you can not go wrong with a navy and white print for summer. Here is the pattern that came to mind when I saw the jacket:
This is Silhouette Patterns #1900 jacket pattern. The only obvious changes that I see with the pattern is adjusting the buttons to 3, maybe shorten the length, remove the shoulder pads, and making patch pockets instead of welt pockets. This pattern is a princess seam to the shoulder so you would have to play a little bit to see how everything matched up. The inspiration photo appeared to have a dart.
Hope you are inspired.
Happy Stitching!
