The Pattern
The jacket-building step in the Workwear System
Outerwear
Skill Level 3 / 5
1 Yard Jacket
Teaches the foundations of proper outerwear construction: jacket assembly, collar construction, zip installation, facings, lining options, welt pockets, chest pocket construction, hem finishing, sleeve setting, and movement-focused pattern details. Designed to feel like a real work jacket — not a decorative fashion project.
The shape is calm and functional so the fabric, wear, fading, creasing, repairs and personal details become the character of the garment over time. Pairs naturally with the Yard Carpenters, but stands confidently as its own outerwear project.
Course & Tutorial
Full build-along included
Tutorial resources cover the important areas of the build — pocket construction, zip installation, lining options, quilting, collar assembly, facings, hems, sleeve construction and final finishing.
Skill Level
Skill Level 3 / 5
Ideal if you're comfortable with basic garment construction and want to move into jacket building without being overwhelmed. The challenge comes from taking your time, following the construction order, and building each section cleanly — the tutorial support makes it approachable.

The canvas will crease. The collar will soften. The pockets will shape around what you carry. Repairs, patches and marks only make it better — the outerwear step that takes you from sewing garments into building a jacket you can actually live in.
Fabric Guidance
Built for durable workwear fabrics
Designed around fabrics that hold shape, take wear and build character over time. Inside the pattern resources you'll get fabric recommendations, lining guidance, weight notes, hardware support and sourcing help.
Recommended fabrics
- Duck canvas
- Workwear canvas
- Heavy cotton drill
- Cotton twill
- Denim
- Washed canvas for a softer everyday jacket
- Blanket or quilted lining options
- Corduroy for collar contrast
Heavier fabrics create a structured, traditional work jacket. Slightly lighter fabrics create a softer jacket that's easier to sew on a domestic machine and easier to wear every day.
Printing Correctly
📐 Printing Box
- Files included for A0, A4 and US Letter
- Print at 100% / actual size — never "scale to fit" (print guide included)
- Measure the 2" × 2" test square before cutting any fabric (has to be perfect)
- Print from a laptop/computer for the most reliable print settings
- A0 files can be taken to a local print shop
- Bullseye corner tiling system included for easier home printing
- Printed & Shipped is also available if you'd rather skip tiling & sticking at home
📎 Tiling Pages?
If you're printing at home on A4 or US Letter, your pages need tiling and sticking together before cutting fabric. Full instructions — tiling, sticking, cutting and pre-production — are covered on the Help page.
Open Help PageSeam Allowance
✂️ Seam Allowance Box
- Every Roughcut pattern (except a few early patterns like the Ushanka Cap and Duffle Bag) already has 1/4" seam allowance built in
- Cut directly on the pattern line — no need to add anything
- Hems, pockets, flat-felled seams and hardware areas may use different allowances — these are stated in the tutorial
- If unsure, watch the tutorial before cutting
⚠ First Build? Read This First
- Buy a little extra fabric — mistakes happen while learning, and there's no room for re-cutting otherwise
- Don't cut your final fabric until your test square is correct
- Watch the tutorial before cutting into good fabric
- Use scrap or cheap test fabric to practise tricky steps if unsure
