Introducing the Downtown Jacket (full pattern). A modern design, perfect for layering, this jacket features a two-piece sleeve with an exaggerated cuff.
WATCH THE VIDEO to see what's in this sewing pattern.
This listing contains the full pattern - with pattern pieces for both Regular & Roomy Fit. The regular fit is ideal for wearing over light layers, while the roomy fit offers extra space for layering over our long sleeved sweaters, dresses & tops without being oversized.
Key features include the sleek two-piece sleeve with exaggerated cuff, easy collar & integrated placket, back yoke with a burrito finish, and plenty of topstitching throughout. Choose between a topstitched or pleated back for added ease.
Available in 3 lengths, with exaggerated patch pockets, optional side splits, and your choice of buttons or snaps. Short sleeve options are also included.
Visit here for just the Regular Fit. Visit here for just the Roomy Fit.
This pattern includes pattern pieces for both the Regular & Roomy Fit Jackets. This includes front, backs, yoke, 2pc long sleeve, short sleeves, collar, cuffs & FBA fronts. Collars, sleeves & cuffs can be swapped between patterns. Shared pieces include patch pocket & button template.
We guide you through, step by step with our user friendly tutorial.
What’s the Difference Between Regular & Roomy Fits?
Body Fit:
Back Design:
Collar: Regular is slightly narrower, but both collars share the same neckline and can be used interchangeably on either fit.
Cuffs: Regular and Roomy cuffs differ slightly, but both fit either sleeve. Note that sleeve length will vary slightly depending on the cuff chosen.
2-Piece Sleeve Fit: The Roomy sleeve has a wider circumference but works with either body fit.
Short Sleeve: Regular Fit has a narrower top arm and hem measurement, but both short sleeves can be used with either fit.
Mix & Match: Most pattern pieces (sleeves, cuffs, collar, pockets, placket interfacing, and button template) are interchangeable between the Regular and Roomy fits. The body (front, back, yoke) should not be mixed between fits.
For more detailed guidance on mixing and matching, see the tutorial.

5. A0 Copy Shop Printing. What to ask for when printing at a copy shop. We recommend requesting plan printing and following the specs outlined above. Please note, printing at a copy shop is always going to be more expensive that printing at home.

I have been sewing for years but have never attempted to make a jacket (or a shirt for that matter). This was seriously SOOO easy to make! Kate's instructions are so user friendly, I think you could also make this even if you'd never sewn before! I've already made 2 and have fabric ready to go for another 2. It definitely a winner for me!
Thank you Narelle!
I’m making my second Downtown in a pink denim, first one in sage green linen, absolutely beautiful.
I have both regular and roomy patterns. My first project was to make my daughter a jacket using the roomy option. As always, Kate's drafting and instructions ensured the jacket came together perfectly. I'm very happy with it and hope my daughter is too.
just finished making this, waiting for delivery of buttons, but very pleased with it and have worn it without, instructions were excellent. will make another soon.
I love my downtown jacket, l made it in mustard coloured linen, took my time and it is great.
The pattern came together easily .I will be making a winter weight jacket next time.
