made it from a heavy dark denim, it was a joy to make. I got a lot of compliments, 'what a nice jacket'! Surely will make it again, perhaps from a grey herring bone Harris tweed, with a red silk lining.

The angles on the pockets and back are a nice design accent. The jacket came together easily with clear instructions (and a little help via email - which was speedy!). Sizing is accurate - I’m 5’6”, 135 lbs, RTW size 8, and the ‘V’ worked for me.
I quilted each piece separately before assembling - used flannel for inside, mid-weight linen for outside. Interfaced pocket for stability since I did not quilt that part.
Will definitely do another version - and extend the fronts just a bit to accommodate buttons.

Very pleased how this turned out great fit

I love this Jacket! I got some wonderful wool/ cashmere fabric for it. I used a projector to cut out rather than a paper pattern. The instructions were easy to follow, the pattern was very accurate size wise and I am so pleased with the result. I also bought the add on lining pattern, easy to to and makes a very professional looking jacket.

So, this is my third Jalie make, and it's another winner! This is easy to make with interesting design lines. Again, the drafting is spot on and the directions were really easy to follow. I made this up in a mid-weight wool that had been sitting in my stash for a while, and it's really sharp looking. The only thing I changed was to add topstiching at the top of the pocket, and continued it to the edges of the front pieces before I continued on with the rest of the pattern. I did this because of the fabric I chose - it just didn't look good "slouchy". I'm curious to make this up in a lighter weight fleece for a more casual look!
