Nov 28 The Olympia and Athena Jackets - Overview / Part 1

The Olympia is a classic jacket with an oversized boyfriend fit. It is shaped to flatter and includes a more relaxed sleeve cap.

The Athena is a jacket with boyfriend vibes. It has more shaping and includes a higher sleeve cap and fabric blocking options.

These patterns have many customizable design options, all of which are interchangeable and include collars, lengths, and waistbands.

I suggest cutting one size down for a more fitted silhouette. (My measurements fall into the size ten, but an eight is also comfortable and fits well. It is just a little more fitted, perfect for wool or tweed.)
