Buy the James Sailor Jacket sewing pattern from Ready to Sew. This is a new take on the traditional fisherman’s smock, once worn by fishermen to keep their woollen jumpers clean. This classic workwear garment is perfect for outdoor life and fits nicely with a sweater underneath, but you could also wear it over a T-shirt for chilly summer nights. You’ll love the neat and strong construction of this garment and its discrete charm. Features include a front opening fastened with a button, inside chest pocket, dolman sleeves, decorative and functional topstitching, a big kangaroo pocket or side pocket, side slits and a curved hem.
