This is a printed pattern The Fowler Jacket is a versatile, gender-neutral outerwear pattern designed to deliver two distinct looks in one design. Sew either a warm, quilted jacket or a practical barn-style coat inspired by classic workwear. Fowler features an oversized, boxy silhouette with dropped shoulders, a two-piece sleeve, and a clean, bandless collar, making it ideal for layering and year-round wear. Finish your jacket with either buttons or snaps. View A is a traditional barn coat with double-layer patch pockets and a single chest pocket, finished with a sleeve hem facing, visible topstitching, and a classic pressed hem. View B is a quilted jacket with softly rounded patch pockets, finished with double-fold bias tape along all edges and hems for a clean, modern look. Pattern Difficulty: Intermediate Supplies: VIEW A - BARN COAT Mid- to heavyweight non-stretch wovens with structure, such as canvas, twill, denim, corduroy, or wool. VIEW B - QUILTED JACKET For a quick and easy make, choose a prequilted fabric or a substantial jacquard, brocade, or similarly beefy fabric that holds its shape without a batting layer. To create a quilted jacket: Outer and inner layer − light- to midweight woven fabrics such as cotton poplin, lawn, voile, chambray and broadcloth, or linen. Drapey fabrics are not recommended. Middle batting layer − quilt batting in cotton, bamboo, or wool.
