The Monterey jacket without a hood, is my husbands favourite style. The construction of this jacket is so good and the tutorial is written in such great detail you can't go wrong. The one I made was in French Terry and has a simple chest pocket.
I just love how Sinclair patterns include all the necessary minor details that make a difference to the end result, such as the neck binding, the topstitching and the construction of the zippered pocket. It may take a little longer to complete, but it is so worth it.
