Today, I wanted to share some thoughts on the fabric choices for our brand-new Yanaka Jacket pattern and give you a glimpse of some inspiring photos that might spark ideas for your own version of this jacket.
When I first introduced this pattern to you, I talked about all the intricate details. If you're interested in revisiting those specifics, you can check out the original post here. And for some fantastic tester photos, head over to this link.
For fabrics, I suggest opting for heavier materials that have a bit of stiffness to them. For example, I used brocade for the pink jacket and wool coating for the teal one. Denim would be an excellent choice, as would canvas or any sturdy home-decorative-style fabric. Fleece or even berber could create a super cozy version. I've been imagining a sleek black leather version because it would exude such elegance. What about faux suede?
As always, I’ve put together a collection of Pinterest images to inspire you. With its clean lines, this style works beautifully with embellished or statement fabrics. Alternatively, you could add your personal touch by embellishing your chosen fabric with sashiko, quilting, or embroidery. Or keep it simple and minimalistic for a sleek, understated look. This design can also make a bold statement just through color alone!

While we’re at it, here’s a quick tip: When selecting fabrics, consider how the weight and texture will affect the overall silhouette of the jacket. Heavier fabrics like wool or brocade will provide structure, while lighter options like cotton might need additional support through interfacing. Play around with textures and colors to make the jacket uniquely yours.
Also, remember that the Yanaka Jacket is versatile enough to be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Imagine wearing it over a crisp white shirt for work or layering it over a casual sweater for a weekend outing. The possibilities are endless!
