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.

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.

Lovely Pattern

I’ve found the jacket really enjoyable to make. The instructions are clear and easy to follow if you’re experienced.

I did find it difficult, when cutting out the pattern pieces, to see which notches related to which size. Whilst sewing I realised that I was missing notches on my pieces.

The only other little thing is on the instruction page starting with step 33, the layout of the illustrations and text is confusing as it’s different than previous pages. On the previous pages, the steps are read from left to right, each with the illustration at the top and the text beneath. However on this page, steps 34 and 35 are meant to be read top to bottom, which was confusing to me. It meant I did step 35 before 34 by mistake.

I love how it’s turned out, and I can’t wait to gift it to my husband Jamie for his birthday :)

Absolutely loved this one

This was such a great project with just enough challenge for a moderately experienced beginner. I chose a 100% cotton gridded corduroy and I opted not to do a contrast stitch - too finicky for my skill level. I love how it turned out, the perfect fall jacket. I went with a size M for my regular Women’s M and the result is big enough to fit a thick sweater underneath with room, but not oversized.
