From the Designer: "The Falda Jacket was developed using a combination of draping and flat paper pattern making. Fabric carved into bold clean shapes. A nod to the classic Chanel tweed, the sensibility of a bomber jacket and the humour and volume of a Victorian era sleeve. The Falda jacket pattern comes with two different styles, depending on your fabric weight choice. A jacket weight cotton with patch pockets (Style A) for the transitional seasons or blanket weight wool with welt pockets and full lining (Style B) for deep winter warmth."
