*Meet the Fowler Jacket: Our First Pattern for 2026's "Living" Theme*
Welcome to the design story behind Closet Core's newest pattern release! The Fowler jacket is the first pattern in our 2026 theme, "Living" β 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.
π§₯ THE BARN COAT VIEW
β’ Workwear-inspired design featuring the trendy barn coat silhouette
β’ Double-layered pockets with both a classic flap pocket and an angled hand pocket
β’ Standless collar attached directly to the neckline
β’ Two-piece sleeve with visible topstitching
β’ Cuff facing that shows when rolled up (perfect for contrast fabric!)
β’ Heritage construction with flat-felled seams for a jacket that will last 100 years
β’ Best fabrics: canvas, denim, twill, heavy bottom-weight fabrics
πͺ‘ THE QUILTED JACKET VIEW
β’ Oversized, boxy silhouette perfect for layering
β’ Multiple construction options: pre-quilted fabric, custom quilting, or vintage quilt tops
β’ Simplified patch pockets finished with bias tape
β’ One-piece bias-bound collar
β’ Can be made fully reversible!
β’ 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 you'll reach for again and again.
