The Mason Vest
A focused evolution in the Roughcut series — stripping away sleeves and cuffs to highlight the fundamentals of utility construction. Zipper insertion, welted pockets, collar attachment, and a fully lined interior.
Six things you'll keep
No build-along for this one yet. The construction — zip insertion, welt pockets, collar attachment, full lining — is the same as the Origin Hooded Jacket, so that film covers the techniques you need.
The photos on this page and the community builds are worth a look before you start, for how different it can end up looking.
What to make it in
Weights and sourcing are in the materials list that comes with the pattern.
What arrives
Never printed a pattern before? The print & tiling guide covers it in about twenty minutes.
Measure the 2″ test square first. It's the only thing that goes wrong, and the only thing you can't undo. Print at 100%, from a laptop rather than a phone.
Buy a little more fabric than you need, and run the tricky part once in something cheap before you touch the good stuff.
Never made a pattern before? Start with the free ones — they're the same system, no risk.

Not a help desk — me, on WhatsApp, usually the same day. Missing files, printing trouble, or a seam that isn't behaving.
