Description
The Fowler Jacket is a utilitarian, gender-neutral sewing pattern that gives you two distinct outerwear looks in one: a classic barn coat or a quilted jacket. It has an oversized, boxy fit with dropped shoulders, a two-piece sleeve and a clean, bandless collar, finished with either buttons or snaps.
View A leans into traditional workwear styling, with double-layered patch pockets, a single breast pocket, topstitched seams and a neatly pressed hem. View B offers a softer, quilted option with rounded patch pockets and double-fold bias binding finishing the edges and hems for a practical but considered look.
Suggested Fabrics
VIEW B – QUILTED JACKET:
Pre-quilted fabrics or substantial jacquards,
brocades or similar; for custom quilted jackets, choose light- to mid-weight woven outer and inner layers with a batting layer in cotton, bamboo, or wool.
Notions
VIEW A – Barn Coat: Fusible interfacing, topstitching thread, buttons or snap buttons, and matching thread.
VIEW B – Quilted Jacket: Double-fold bias tape, buttons or snap buttons or sew-on snaps, matching thread, and safety pins or spray for basting layers.
