The Jaime Jacket is a casual menswear piece designed to feel quietly smart and easy to wear. While it may look simple, it’s full of carefully considered features to elevate the piece from other ‘overshirt’ style jackets.
The cut features a curved yoke that flows straight into the under-sleeve seam, which turns into a slit opening at the cuff. This flowing seam travels from cuff to cuff with a wide run & fell seam.
The front pockets have a dual opening, and the back loop is on the outside of the jacket to create a unique and subtle design detail. You will use high-quality finishings to create this jacket, including a run & fell seam on the armhole (although you’ll also find it easier
instructions for an overlocked armhole too).
