As the cold begins to really set in, we begin to gravitate towards warmer layers. Today, I offer you some jacket patterns from 1941 that can be made in a fur like illustrated or even a nice winter weight wool. The patterns themselves are really not that simple and what makes them complex are all the darts within the pattern that really make the jacket fit and tailored. If anything, the top one, B is less of a challenge to get right than the bottom one, A, but that really is all up to you and your own skill set. I think to make one of these in wool to show case the darts and lines would make a fascinating one. Each jacket closes with buttons and has pockets. The pockets are patch pockets with no pattern given, they are free handed drafted using the dotted lines below as a rough guide. Below, the pattern card:
