Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I finished my Hikaru jacket while ago, but I never got around to photographing it. I was inspired to make one by ParaNoire’s beautiful version, and now I wear it several times a week! I omitted the rows of buttons down the front and instead made buttoned pocket flaps for the chest, and instead of using three buttons evenly spaced down the cuffs, I used two buttons near the top of the cuff. I also had to redraft the sleeves because they were too wide and the sleeve caps were enormous. There are a ton of marvelous details in this jacket that make it a fun, challenging project, and give it its urban, military style- I love this pattern – thank you for my new jacket, BurdaStyle!
Material Notes
Black and white wool herringbone flannel/tweed for the shell. Teal jacquard for the lining. Antiqued silvertone buttons, separating zipper.

So, how much wearing ease would you say you have on your hikaru?
My sz 44 muslin is too big (mostly in the back), but I think a 42 would be very fitted.

This is GORGEOUS. I love the contrast of the neutral herringbone with the silky lining. It’s so well-made, too! This deserves congratulations.

I love this jacket. Your technique is flawless. I will have to continue sewing for a while before my skill is up to par to make this jacket. Great job.
