From Wiksten:
Note: The pattern was renamed to Unfolding Jacket and has been discontinued as of March 31st 2021. More info here.
Sewing pattern for a Japanese-inspired jacket. With large pockets and a fold-over collar, this oversized jacket is functional, comfortable, and stylish. Fully lined and reversible (but with pocket on only one side), it looks more complicated to make than it actually is. The design includes three different lengths to choose from-- short (hip length), mid (below-hip length), and long (thigh length).
Sizes: XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL. Fits US Women's sizes 00-18. Size XS sample is shown here on a size 0/2, 5'3" tall model. The oversized nature of this garment makes it likely to fit sizes larger than shown on the size chart, but the effect will be more fitted than shown in the photos.
Recommended Fabrics:
- Main fabric: Medium weight woven fabric with good drape, such as textured cotton, chambray, linen, soft denim, cotton/linen blend, twill, and wool.
- Lining fabric: Light to medium weight woven fabric with good drape, such as textured cotton, chambray, linen, cotton/linen blend, and silk.
Note: The pattern was renamed after release, from the "Wiksten Oversized Kimono" to the "Wiksten Haori".
The original "Wiksten Oversized Kimono" pattern was available in Making Magazine, issue No. 4 / LINES, 2017
