This is a sewing pattern and tutorial for a tailored collar jacket designed mainly for cosplay costumes, such as school uniforms and stage outfits.
This tailored jacket pattern has a simplified structure, with the lining and facings reduced compared to a standard jacket. Although it is easier than a full tailored jacket, it still requires intermediate sewing skills.
Because this pattern is simplified for costume use, we recommend modifying the lining and internal structure if you plan to make a jacket for everyday wear.
The pattern is based on a basic jacket shape, so you can adjust the pattern lines to suit your preferred style and silhouette.
The sleeves are authentic two-piece tailored sleeves with curved seams. A small amount of easing is used to create a rounded sleeve shape, making this step slightly challenging.
Please note that the dart placement differs from standard jacket patterns, so be sure to follow the pattern markings carefully.
The men’s size pattern has a longer body length compared to the women’s size.
The overall design has a slightly relaxed fit. You may adjust the pattern to achieve a slimmer or more tailored look if desired.
After printing, align the pages along the guide lines, paste them together, and cut out the pattern pieces. Seam allowances are included, so the pattern can be used as-is.
(1) Apply fusible interfacing to all required parts, then sew all darts and press them in the correct direction with an iron.
(2) Attach the flap to the designated flap position.
*If you plan to make functional pockets instead of dummy pockets, prepare and sew the pocket pieces at this stage.
(3) Sew the outer fabric, facing, and lining together to form the basic structure, then attach the collar pieces to each section.
*Make small clips at tight curved areas around the collar and lining seams to allow the fabric to turn smoothly.
(4) Sew all sections together except for the hem, then turn the garment right side out.
*Pre-press the hem line with an iron to make the finishing process easier.
(5) Attach the sleeves to the body.
*Sleeve easing is required. The sleeves cannot be attached correctly without easing stitches.
(6) Finish the hem by hand-stitching to close it.
*Areas that tend to shift during sewing can be temporarily secured with basting stitches to achieve a cleaner finished line.
