Description
The Falda Jacket (Pattern #402) was developed using a combination of draping and flat paper pattern making. Fabric carved into bold clean shapes. A nod to the classic Chanel tweed, the sensibility of a bomber jacket and the humour and volume of a victorian era sleeve.
Recommend Fabrics
The Falda jacket pattern comes with two different styles, depending on your fabric weight choice. A jacket weight cotton with patch pockets for the transitional seasons or blanket weight wool with welt pockets and full lining for deep winter warmth.
The fit is very roomy I suggest going down a size for canvass /denim options but going to true size for thick coating. There is instructions for how to make it in blanket weights for a proper winter bomber.
