At least on line at Net a Porter. I swear I have this fabric, or one that's pretty close to it. I bought 2 yards of Oscar de la Renta wool blend boucle on sale from Fine fabrics last winter and it has been waiting for inspiration. I love this casual style in a dressier fabric. Wow, a boucle motorcycle jacket! I don't know how this would look on me, but there are several patterns available for jackets very similar to this one. I even have them in several issues of Burda magazine. I would make a muslin of this just because I am unsure of the look on me. But the length is about right and easy to adjust anyway. It has very few details, so a pretty easy jacket to make. Inspiration at last!

You know what would look awesome? Rhinestone zippers in this jacket!
ReplyDeletei vote that you make one
ReplyDeleteI think that would be a fantastic jacket to make! I can't wait to see the finished product.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cool jacket. Definitely worth making.
ReplyDeleteI really want to make a motorcycle jacket too for the fall. You know I'll definitely be turning to you for help!
ReplyDeleteA few BWOF pattern immediately came to my mind too. And if you have similar fabric, go for it, will be a beautiful jacket.
ReplyDeleteIf you suddenly get a brain washed and decide to make it for me, I would totally wear it. :-p. That being said...isn't the rest of my suit still in your UFO pile? *grins*
ReplyDeleteThe jacket is hot, I bet you could rock it. Sketch it out on your little figure drawing stuff and see if the proportions work.
Killer! My 12 year old daughter Abby proclaimed, "Is that a jacket? mom, that is SO COOL!" Pacific Trimming has these zippers too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous jacket. The best looking one I've seen all year. It will look stunning on you.
