Pattern Construction for Men’s Denim Jackets

The denim jacket is straightforward and a fantastic option to have for its versatility. The original denim look has expanded into different styles, colours and trends. Sometimes the denim jacket is cool, sometimes formal. Jackets in the 90s look are celebrating their comeback once again. We offer a step by step guide for the pattern construction of a men’s denim jacket in trucker style.
