Jaime Jacket PDF Pattern
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.

Customer Reviews
I made this for my partner for Christmas. It was my first time making something not for me, so I was a bit nervous about sizing as he is very tall but also very thin. I also had never used run and fell seams. There was no need to be nervous as the instructions and sizing were spot on. I really enjoyed sewing it and it fits him perfectly. He loves it and gets compliments every time he wears it.
The run and fell sleeve attachment was tricky. You get instructions for both methods which is helpful! I tried them, but couldn't get the seam alignment on the back to match up. In the end I used the regular seam and finished it off with contrasting bias, which kept the inside beautiful and tidy.
The Jaime Jacket is one of my favourite things I’ve made for my husband! I love the simple shape of the jacket and special details, like the curved back yoke and pointed cuffs. His measurements are between M and L. I chose to sew M because he prefers a closer fit and he’s really happy with how it turned out. It’s a really versatile piece and quickly becoming one of his most worn jackets.
I knew as soon as this pattern was released that I would have to try making it. It is the most advanced thing that I’ve tried yet. I knew that it would be easy to follow the instructions as I’ve made numerous Classic shirts and over shirts from the Modern sewing company and as always the instructions were clear and a delight to follow. I decided to use a lightweight denim, as my machine can be a bit temperamental with anything too thick. I chose a size xl as I’m normally in the size 18 range and opted for the medium length for the sleeves. The pockets are great ,nice and roomy, I did practice them first before using my good fabric!
I’ve signed up for the 3 months capsule wardrobe and will definitely be making the Jaime jacket again, this time possibly with a lining.
