Fall Fatigue

These army green fatigue jackets can be seen everywhere online and in real life. I already had one that I bought the winter before last and I wear it a lot but it is a winter jacket. Nicely lined in a warm fuzzy fabric that makes it too warm for fall and spring.
So, when my mom passed on this piece of cotton twill when she cleaned out her stash, I knew exactly what I would make. It is nice to add this jacket to my closet rotation.

 

 

A peek at this inside finishes.
I chose to use Simplicity 2153 for this jacket and made view C. I liked the rolled sleeves and the tabs, and thought that the shorter sleeve length would be perfect for spring,summer and fall.
My Review: 
 
Pattern:  Simplicity 2153
Fabric used: Cotton twill given to me by my mom.
Instructions:The instructions were fine as far as I can remember…
Changes I made: For once I didn’t make any changes to this one! I did however do Hong Kong seams on this one because it wasn’t lined, except for the under arm seams, where I hemmed the seam allowances because when the sleeves were rolled they would be seen.
Repeat worthy? I really like this jacket and have worn is a lot already but I probably won’t make another and move on to other coat patterns.
