Tereska Soft Blazer Pattern
Tailoring doesn't have to be a major labour of love. The Tereska Blazer is our take on easy tailoring: a soft, boxy silhouette without the complicated construction of a traditional jacket. Double-breasted with a faux peak lapel, two rows of buttons, and welt pockets with flaps, it has the visual impact of a classic power jacket with a fraction of the sewing, and a more relaxed fit. We skipped the shoulder pads, keeping the silhouette soft and unstructured. The roomy two-piece sleeve makes this ideal for layering, and the jacket is fully lined throughout. Planning to wear your sleeves rolled? An optional deep hem facing means the lining stays hidden when you fold them up.
Suggested Fabric:
- For the jacket body: midweight wovens with a bit of drape. We suggest mid to heavyweight linen and cotton with some drape, viscose blend suitings such as gabardine and bengaline, and traditional wool suitings like tweed, flannel, crepe and boucle.
- Please note: tightly woven, smooth surfaced worsted weight wool suitings (ie. Super 120s + 150s) are not recommended since they can be difficult to fuse using a home iron.
- For the lining: rayon bemberg, charmeuse, crepe de chine.
- Optional: For the pockets: sturdy cotton like shirting, quilting cotton or muslin (0.25 yd / 0.25 m)
