Hooded Reversible Parka Jacket

When To Wear

In spring and autumn over a sweater or a shirt, with jeans or trousers.
On walks and trips, turned to whichever side suits the outfit.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, loose body, drawn in at the waist by the drawstring.

Length: Below the hip.

Collar: Two-piece hood sewn into the neckline on each side of the jacket; the two hoods are stitched together along the front edge and topstitched 1.5–2 cm from it.

Sleeves: Long, one-piece, sewn into the armholes flat, then closed together with the side seams in one pass; the two sleeve layers are joined at the hem and topstitched 1.5–2 cm from the edge.

Closure: Full-length separating zip inserted between the two jackets at the front edges, topstitched 1.5–2 cm from the edge.

Pockets: Side one (fabric 1): two welt openings on the fronts with zips set under the edges, teeth visible, and pocket bags of lining fabric. Side two (fabric 2): two patch pockets with a double-folded, topstitched upper edge.

Waist: A lining-fabric casing stitched to the wrong side of the front and back along the marked lines; decorative cord passes through two eyelets on the front and is fitted with cord stoppers.

Back: Cut on the fold, with no centre back seam, on both sides.

Finishing: The jacket is bagged out and turned through an opening left in the left sleeve seam of the fabric 1 side, which is then closed.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Zipped welt pockets, eyelets and a drawstring casing, a separating zip set between two layers, and bagging out a reversible jacket.
