Inspiration...Zip Front Jacket

 Sometimes simple, classic styles are perfect and I think this is one of them:

This is the Zip-Front Tailored Jacket by Lafayette 148 New York.  Price: $798.00.  Details:  approximately 21-inches from shoulder to hem, spread collar, zip front, long sleeves, stitched vertical darts, front welt pockets, tailored fit, cotton/nylon/polyamide/elastane fabric, unlined, machine wash.  

This is a very classic jacket. It is a basic.  It is very similar to the jacket in this inspiration post.  How about a pattern?

This is Butterick 7008.  View B is very similar to the inspiration photo with the exception of the vertical darts.  You can always add those it you want.  You would probably need to check length to make sure that it will hit the hip area where you want it to.  This pattern probably has more ease than the inspiration jacket as well.

Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful. 

Happy Stitching!
