Inspiration...Linen Jacket

 Here is a little linen jacket:

Close up of the jacket:

This is the Single-Breasted Linen Jacket from Giorgio Armani. Price tag: $2,595.00.  Details:  notched lapels, button closure, two front welt pockets, breast welt pocket, partially lined, length 70 cm, fabric - flax, lining - cotton.

This is not must different than the jacket. Just a different price point.  You can see a little bit of the seam finishing inside the jacket.  It is called Hong Kong finishing.  The how-tos should be in a basic sewing book like Vogue Sewing, here is a written tutorial, and here is a you tube tutorial.   

Here is another jacket pattern:

This is Butterick 6960.  With this pattern, it is pretty much what you see if what you get.  It is just a jacket but it is very close to the inspiration photo.

Also, remember to make a second garment to go with your jacket.  That way, you will always have a matching outfit. Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful.

Happy Stitching!
