*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" – 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.

πŸ§₯ 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

πŸͺ‘ 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.
