![The Design Story for the Fowler Jacket
*Meet the Fowler Jacket: Our First Pattern for 2026s Living Theme*
Welcome to the design story behind Closet Cores newest pattern release! The Fowler jacket is the first pattern in our 2026 theme, Living – a year dedicated to heirloom-quality garments that stand the test of time.
This versatile pattern gives you TWO completely different jackets in one: a workwear-inspired barn coat AND a quilted jacket. Both versions are alpha-sized and gender neutral, so you can make this for anyone in your life.
🧥 THE BARN COAT VIEW
• Workwear-inspired design featuring the trendy barn coat silhouette
• Double-layered pockets with both a classic flap pocket and an angled hand pocket
• Standless collar attached directly to the neckline
• Two-piece sleeve with visible topstitching
• Cuff facing that shows when rolled up (perfect for contrast fabric!)
• Heritage construction with flat-felled seams for a jacket that will last 100 years
• Best fabrics: canvas, denim, twill, heavy bottom-weight fabrics
🪡 THE QUILTED JACKET VIEW
• Oversized, boxy silhouette perfect for layering
• Multiple construction options: pre-quilted fabric, custom quilting, or vintage quilt tops
• Simplified patch pockets finished with bias tape
• One-piece bias-bound collar
• Can be made fully reversible!
• Closure options: sew-on snaps, snap buttons, or traditional buttonholes
Whether you choose the structured barn coat or the cozy quilted version, the Fowler jacket is designed to be a wardrobe staple youll reach for again and again.
