Notes This time I tried something completely different jacket model that I have not done before.
Wool blend jacket. In the end, the jacket changed a lot from the original. The intention was to put the collar in the instructions, but the fabric I intended didn't fit it.
I lengthened the hem by 3 cm. The zipper was also replaced with similar buttons.
The jacket has no lining at all.
Of course, I could have sharpened the vertical stripes on the back piece of the hem, but you don't notice all that when the drive is on. The lower part of the jacket is cut across. It's not so visible from the front because of the pockets.
The jacket was quite tight on the hips, especially if there is more on underneath. Partly because of that, I made side slits, also increasing sitting comfort.
