The Yard Jacket
The outerwear piece in the Workwear System — slightly cropped, boxy, practical, clean. Built from canvas, denim, drill or twill to be worn hard, faded, creased and kept in daily rotation.

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.

Great pattern, and excellent video tutorial on YouTube. Made it super easy to follow and troubleshoot when things go awry. 5 stars
Love this, lots of pattern pieces to make this awesome lined jacket, all the pieces lined up perfectly, the 6mm seam allowance was new for me so I made sure I was precise.
A very cool jacket to make, the YouTube tutorial is very helpful.
