This is a pattern that deserves more attention - it's very versatile, it layers beautifully over other garments, and it has loads of options. Plus, the long version has HUGE pockets! I've made it three times (one long, two short) in corduroy, denim and moleskin, two with hoods and one with the stand-up collar, and the last one only took me a day and a half from cutting out to sewing on the buttons. The instructions assume a bit of sewing knowledge, but the video tutorial on YouTube was very helpful when I made the first one. It's useful for using up remnants from other projects, too, as the short version takes very little fabric.
Very nice pattern. I used a wool fabric for the outside and a lining fabric for the inside. The two fabrics have different directions of stretch, a challenge for me as I am still a beginner. I am very pleased with the result. A warm, cozy and beautiful gilet that fits every day.
