I having been searching for a jacket pattern (that I could alter) so I could make something that would have a similar appeal of the Burberry Tweed Country Jacket. That jacket has gently gathered shoulders and waist. It costs $2995 (!) My apologies if I have posted this in the wrong location. Diane

Your best strategy would be to break down the jacket into all of its component parts (stand collar, bust dart, peplum, back yolk, epaulettes, two piece vented sleeve) and build it back together from other patterns and/or by drafting it yourself.The voluminously gathered pocket, seems to have been influenced by the Japanese series of Pattern Magic books. ------ The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale.

I actually took a tailoring class decades ago.... While I could never replicate the jacket, I was hoping there might be a pattern with a similar silohette. I've searched without luck. Any pattern I have seen is typically classic lined center front or super casual, no lining.

Perhaps you've seen it: it has a stand collar, button front, hip pockets, fitted peplum waist, and epaulettes -- it's even been reviewed here on PR. This pattern is as close as you're likely to get. Although the jacket doesn't have a lining, you shouldn't let that stop you because it's extremely easy to draft the lining of a jacket from the jacket pattern itself. The instructions for drafting a lining can be found in the Easy Guide to Sewing Jackets which you can buy for less than two dollars on amazon.com. -- Edited on 6/19/12 7:35 AM -- ------ The essence of life is statistical improbability on a colossal scale.
