A full day with my pattern cutter. She's drafting the block in a Small first, then adding the details one by one.
The details are settled. The same cuffs and hidden storm cuffs as the quilted jacket, the same neck loop as the peacoat, square-cornered chest pockets and a 1.5cm topstitch on the hip pockets. Inside, welt pockets like the peacoat's: two on one side, one on the other.
I've asked my pattern cutter to start on a trucker jacket. If it comes together quickly, I can launch two jackets before the year is out.
