The Assembly Line Blazer is a classic - with a slightly oversized fit; a classic collar with lapel; and a unique pocket flap with fake pocket – the pocket opening is instead hidden in the front side seam. The jacket features a single button closure, back slits and a mock sleeve slit.
The pattern includes an unlined version as well as a lined sleeve version.
Currently available in size range XS-L.
The straight and medium-wide shape gives an easy fit so use your chest measurement for sizing. See last image for details.
Difficulty: Advanced
Suitable fabrics: Medium to heavyweight suitings or lightweight coatings with surface texture such as wool suiting, velvet, cotton drill, medium-heavy weight cotton and linen may also be used.
