Asymmetrical Two-Tone Shawl Collar Jacket

Pattern #5711
Tech. Description

Asymmetrical Two-Tone Shawl Collar Jacket

Introducing a sophisticated women's jacket pattern with a distinctive two-tone design, an oversized shawl collar, and a gracefully asymmetrical front closure — all achieved from a single reversible faux-shearling fabric used on both its faces.

When To Wear

This stylish jacket offers a unique blend of elegance and modern flair, making it perfect for:

  • Chic Everyday Wear: Elevates a smart casual ensemble for daily outings or informal meetings.
  • Evening & Social Gatherings: A distinctive outer layer for dinners, parties, or cultural events.
  • Seasonal Transitions: Provides warmth and style during cooler autumn and spring days.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: A tailored, hip-length jacket designed to flatter the figure with a defined waist.

Neckline & Collar: A generously proportioned, oversized shawl collar — shown in the plush pile (fur) face — that drapes elegantly over the shoulders.

Front Design: A paneled front creates the two-tone effect from a single fabric: the smooth suede face on the upper panels contrasts with the plush pile face on the lower panels, finished with an asymmetrical overlap in which the right front laps over the left.

Closure: A single button at the wearer's left, with the buttonhole on the right front, so the right panel closes over the left — reinforcing the asymmetrical design.

Sleeves: Long, set-in one-piece sleeves finished with wide, constructed cuffs (separate cuff bands stitched to the sleeve, not turn-backs) in the pile face, with shaped, overlapping ends and leather-bound edges.

Back: A clean, fitted back featuring a center-back seam and vertical shaping seams for a sleek profile.

Hem: The front hem is artfully shaped, curving gently to a slightly pointed finish below the natural waist; the lower panels are in the plush pile face.

Trim Detail: Contrast leather trim is a signature element — topstitched over the front and back princess seams, along a decorative line on the lapel (from the end of the collar attachment to the lapel fold), over the seam joining the upper and lower jacket, around the cuff edges, and binding all outer edges (front, lapel, collar, and hem).

Level Of Difficulty

Advanced. This pattern requires experience with complex paneling, working with a reversible faux-shearling fabric (using both its pile and suede faces), constructing an oversized shawl collar, and precise application of leather-trim details.

Fabric Recommendations

This design is created from a single reversible faux shearling (suede-faced faux sheepskin) with a short pile, using both faces of the fabric to achieve the distinctive two-tone look:

  • Plush pile (fur) face — the right side on the collar, the cuffs, and the lower front and back panels.
  • Smooth suede face — the right side on the upper front and back panels and the sleeves.

Alternatively, two coordinating fabrics — a short-pile faux fur/shearling for the plush sections and a faux suede or faux leather for the smooth sections — may be substituted, though the pattern is designed around one reversible fabric.

Additional Supplies

  • Leather trim or faux-leather tape for finishing details
  • 1 button

Sewing Instructions

  1. Stitch the princess seams of the upper front and back. Press seam allowances open. On the right side, lay a piece of leather trim strip over the princess seams and topstitch, catching the seam allowances in the stitch.
  2. On the lapel, from the fur side, mark the decorative line from the notch indicating the end of the collar attachment to the lapel fold line. Topstitch a leather trim strip along the marked line.
  3. Stitch the center back seam. Press seam allowances open.
  4. Stitch the side seams of the upper jacket. Press seam allowances open.
  5. Stitch the side seams of the lower jacket, leaving a 5 cm section of the left side seam unstitched. Press seam allowances open and glue them down.
  6. Join the upper and lower parts of the jacket with an overlay seam. Lay a piece of leather trim strip over the seam and topstitch.
  7. Stitch the shoulder seams of the jacket. Press seam allowances open.
  8. Stitch the sleeve seam. Trim seam allowances close to the stitching.
  9. Bind the cuff edge with trim strip. Align the ends of the cuff with the marks and stitch the cuff into a loop. Attach the cuff to the sleeve with an overlay seam.
  10. Set the sleeves into the armholes according to the notches.
  11. Bind the raw edges of the collar.
  12. Fold the collar with the garment, suede sides inward. Attach the collar to the garment with a zigzag stitch. Without folding back the collar, bind the edges with leather trim strip, starting from the lower left side seam, then the left front edge, lapel, collar attachment seam, right lapel and front edge, lower back edge, ending at the left side seam. Stitch the unstitched section of the left side seam. Glue down the seam allowances.
  13. On the right front, make a buttonhole; on the left, sew on a button.
