Inspiration...Denim Jacket

 The last two inspirations have been denim skirts.  Now, we are moving to a tailored jacket style:




This is the Brushed Denim Jacket by Akris punto.  Price tag: $1,590.00.  Details:  spread collar, long sleeves, button-barrel cuffs, d-loop belt, side on-seam pockets, button front closure, peplum hem, 100% cotton, lining 100% cupro, dry clean.

This jacket is so cute.  Definitely different than the standard jean jacket.  Here is a pattern idea:


This is McCall's M7513.  It is a tailored jacket with a peplum.  It might work for the inspiration photo.  The collar is a little different and there are no cuffs or belt.  I think that with a little hacking the cuffs could be added.  The belt would just need to be sewn.  Denim is not a specific fabric called out with this pattern but wool and velveteen are heavy fabrics which imply to me that denim would work. If you are a Threads Insider, there is an article on how to add details to a princess seam jacket from the 1940s era.  

Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful.

Happy Stitching!
