Foreman Jacket Sewing Pattern: Inspired by Classic Workwear with Timeless Style

The Foreman jacket is a true nod to traditional fifties workwear, designed for those who appreciate practical, hardwearing garments that never compromise on style. With its boxy, relaxed fit and neat square collar, this unlined jacket is as functional as it is fashionable, featuring two hip pockets and one breast pocket for all your essentials.

The Foreman is perfect for intermediate sewists looking for a jacket that’s simple to make but full of character. The two-piece sleeves add a tailored touch, while optional top-stitching in contrasting thread allows you to personalize it with a pop of detail. Whether you're looking for a rugged layering piece or a stylish outerwear option, the Foreman is your go-to jacket for all-season wear, combining classic workwear practicality with modern design.
