Inspiration...Corduroy Jacket

 It is time to think about jackets for fall.  This is a little bit like a chore jacket:


This is the Organic Cotton Stretch Corduroy Jacket by Eileen Fisher.  Price tag: $248.00.  Details: relaxed fit, classic collar, button front, and button cuff with double pleat, and patch pockets.

I am not convinced that a stretch fabric is needed for a relaxed fit but that is for you to decide.  I do love the idea of this style of jacket in corduroy.  Here is the first pattern that I thought of:

This is the Rhett Jacket pdf pattern by Seamwork.  It is a workwear inspired chore jacket.  

I have made this jacket and it is one of my favorite jackets that I have made.  I did not realize that it had been so long since I made the jacket.  It is still going strong.  Maybe it is time to make a new version.  Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful.

Happy Stitching!
