Looks like you got a very wearable, stylish jacket. And you are wearing Burda in Germany--what could be more fitting?

What a terrific jacket. The subtle shaping you have added is a great improvement on Burda's rather boxy pattern.

Brilliant review and so timely. I have fabric waiting and got this pattern out of my stash as an option. Your changes will work well for me - I have bookmarked your review. Thanks

Your jacket is very beautiful! I made it a few years back and solved the straight fit issue by adjusting the position of the buttons - the lazy way.

Great looking jacket on you especially with the changes you made to make it follow your curves. Excellent review...always good to take an OOP for a rompn'review as so many of us collect more patterns than we can get to.
