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 & Fit

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

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.

Jaime Jacket review

This was my first attempt at a workwear style jacket. This pattern stood out from all the others because of the amazingly clever double-access pockets. Sewing with 13.5 oz. denim fabric proved a bit of a challenge when I decided to attempt the "run and fell option" when attaching the sleeves to the main body - but I appreciate the clean lines & feel it was worth the attempt! This is a great option for either a man or a woman. I made the "medium" which is a bit roomy for me but works well on my son. I appreciate both patterns I have made from The Modern Sewing Co. and look forward to making more of them :)

Making a women's Jamie version

I made Jamie jacket for myself, being a bit unsure about choosing a unisex pattern. I adapted It by grading and that went fine for my height and small shoulders. It was my first time making flat felled seams. I took my time, practiced before and they turned out nicely. I recommend it for experienced sewists that like a classic fit.

Things I wish I knew

- Although the pattern is called a jacket, it required a high level of skill if you are actually using heavier jacket material like canvas or denim.
- The instructions are VERY brief in some parts, and assume that you have quite a bit of experience and knowledge. I would say you should be a very confident intermediate that doesn't need any video or photo references.
- I was frustrated that there was no advice on how to close the sleeve with a run and fell seam, which again lead me to believe that the pattern was intended to use a light material.
- One section of the sleeve PDF does not match the actual pattern you get. Which is so confusing.

Overall, nice fit and design, especially the pockets but I am not sure I'll be trying other patterns from the modern sewing co for the reasons above.
