design

This is the design that I am going to start drafting my patterns from. I am putting stretch inserts into the elbows and around the lower part of the armholes. There is a wide collar at the back that can roll down against the jacket, with the wrap/lapel piece separate, sitting underneath it and crossing over at the front of the body, buttoning to the jacket above the jet pockets. When needed for protection against the wind, the collar stands up, and the wrap wraps around it, buttoning to the jacket on the back of each shoulder. The jacket will also have internal pockets for secure storage of passport, wallet, etc. and a double vent at the back, increasing the freedom of movement.
