Description

I wanted to have a “vegan” motorcycle jacket that had the right look. The “Larissa” pattern was just the style I wanted.
I modified the pattern by making the jacket longer, particularly in the back.

Material Notes

I used a textured basket weave cotton that has a slight sheen. People assume it's leather until I tell them the fabric is cotton. I used a sewn in cotton/linen interfacing which I doubled and quilted for the lapel area.

    Amazing Ok I have a silly question I bought this pattern and Im having trouble reading the sizing chart. I understand the top row which I assume is bust size but what is the Talle .

    This looks really amazing, great fit, the material hangs well, the contrast of the thick silver zips with the black is cool. Works really well. Special.

    I don’t suppose that you know the gauge of the zippers and where I could find them?? I have been DESPERATELY searching for something thicker than the #10 zipper, which in itself, is hard to find!!

      I got the zippers from Custom Zips through the internet in the “heavy duty” size.

    Just a question: did you use a 40 cm zip as you made the Larissa longer or did you buy a longer zip? It is wonderful! Carole from Paris.

      Yes, I still used a 40 cm zipper.

    Wow! I love it!!! It is so inspiring….and love the vegan-ness of it. It’s great as well if you don’t want the heavy leather look, yours is more spring/summer feeling. I am going to master some more skills and put this on my wish list.

    It does look like leather at first sight! :-) And it fits you wonderfully! Great job!

    Very nice! I think the added length was a great choice, it looks like a perfect fit.

    Love the jacket. I was going to ask why is this jacket “vegan” but I think I figured it out. Its not leather.
