Nice jacket - I've never really considered making wet weather/bushwalking gear. How does your jacket compare in price with a similar quality retail garment? Would you save money on adult sized garments? We can often buy discontinued lines quite cheaply here (Tasmania, Aust), but I am not sure that Goretex fabric is easily purchased through retail outlets. I am a bit unsure about purchasing online from US outlets. Cheers.

Thanks so much for this review. I'm intending to buy this to make myself a jacket and it's great to know what it's like in advance. I didn't realise it had all those details (pockets, cuffs) from the small picture on the website. Thanks for the tips too!

Great jacket. You daughter looks so nice in it.Your review is very helpful, especially since the Jalie product shots show more attitude than information. I'm interested in rain gear that can be lightweight and have lots of vents. Your review is helpful, thank you.

Very nice, thank you for review. I had not looked at this pattern before. Thank you for the heads up on the pockets, that is just the kind of info one needs before getting into a pattern!

Thanks for this review, lmg. I am always interested in seeing technical fabrics made up into outerwear.

Wow! That looks very RTW (in a good way!).

Echolalia, I spent about $60 Canadian on the fabric and notions so it was still worth it for me compared to what is out there. I bought both the Gortex and the lining from Textile Outfitters (www.justmakeit.com). I have enough left over to make my hubby one as well. The pockets aren't that difficult but I am not sure they turned out like they are supposed to. They are however hidden within the welts and that's what you want with a rain jacket. By the way, how do I link to the Jalie pattern website? I can't make it work!!

You are right- that does look RTW. Nice job!

Thanks so much for your review. I've been lookin for a pattern for my hubby, and I may try this one. We made our own pattern for our baby's jacket, and though it turned out well, it took two and a half months! So this is a welcome alternative. I read "Sewing Outdoor Gear: Easy Techniques for Outerwear that works" by Rachelle Harper and she had some really helpful bits about sewing pockets, (which admitedly, are the hardest part on a jacket in my oppinion). Anyway, thanks for your review and I hope this helps!

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who finds the welt pocket directions hard to understand. Often I feel the directions on Jalie patterns are confusing to read, but usually the technique makes sense when you look at the drawings. Not this time!
