Jaime Jacket | PDF Pattern

£14.00

The Jaime Jacket is a casual menswear piece designed to feel quietly smart and easy to wear. It may look simple but it’s full of carefully considered features to elevate it from other ‘over shirt’ style jackets.

The cut features a curved yoke that flows straight into the under sleeve seam which turns into a slit opening at the cuff. This flowing seam travels from cuff to cuff with a wide run & fell seam. The front pockets have a dual opening and the back loop is on the outside of the jacket to create a unique and subtle design detail.

Sizing: Mens sizes XS2 - XL3 / Women's sizes 4 - 20 (with PDF Layers)

Skill level: Intermediate sewers.

The Jaime Jacket is cut to be relaxed but not oversized. Selecting your ‘true size’ will give you a jacket that fits like an over shirt. If you prefer to have more room around the shoulders and chest to layer with thicker jumpers, or if you have a very thick or sturdy fabric we recommend sizing up. We recommend paying attention to the shoulder and sleeve measurements - the pattern comes with 3 sleeve length options so you can choose the right length for you.

I recently finished this jacket in denim for my son. It worked out great and was a pleasure to sew. The littIe details such as the hanging loop and the two-way pockets make a difference. I took my time and made this very slowly using run and fell seams throughout. The resulting jacket is just as neat on the inside as the outside. Instructions are very clear and concise too.
I would recommend this pattern as it is could be made to look so different depending on your fabric choice. This is the fifth The Modern Sewing Co. pattern I have used and all garments have worked out well :)

Excellent Instructions!

The instructions for this jacket were brilliant. I was intrigued by the double opening pocket and it was all explained very clearly. Most of the instructions were almost mini-sewing lessons in themselves; they would be great for people learning to sew.
Loved the hanging loop and the yoke line that runs across the back and joins the sleeve seams.
I made my jacket in moleskin. I love french classic bleu de travail jackets made in moleskin but went for an olive green. I top stitched with a browny rust heavy weight top stitching thread for a nice decorative effect. I only work on old treadle and hand crank machines so I chose to bind some of the seams as the machines only do straight stitch unless I use a zigzag attachment which is a bit tricky on several layers of thicker fabric.
The run and fell proved the hardest bit on the arm holes but that was probably because old machines don't have the free arm just the solid flat base. Altogether a fun project probably made slightly tougher by my use of ancient early last century machinery (although the advantage is they will sew through loads of thick layers easily.)
Can definitely recommend the pattern as the instructions are very thorough (much more so than the big name commerical patterns.) I'm tempted to go mad and make the Darcy Coat next!

My favorite pockets!!

This pattern is so good. The instructions are very clear and the finishing techniques are top notch. It's a bit more challenging than the average chore jacket pattern, but totally achievable with some focus. The element that makes this jacket the absolute best is the pockets - so clever and useful! I will be putting these pockets on other jackets.
