The Cozy Elegance of Faux Fur


Fake fur Jacket 105 | Burda Style 12/24
A major trend this season, the faux fur jacket is chic and cozy with a short, structured cut, available in sizes 36 to 46, perfect for brightening up a winter wardrobe.
Its ultra-soft synthetic material adds volume without weighing it down, while providing a beautiful fit. The delicately rounded collar frames the face and enhances the retro-modern look of the design. Easy to sew, the synthetic fur allows for clean finishes and highlights the simple lines of the pattern.
Its little extra: the pockets are incorporated into the side seams, where the darts give the garment a touch of structure and make it feminine.

Cutting tip:
- Always cut the fabric with the grain (fur lying down) with all pieces placed in the same direction.
- Trace with a fabric pen or chalk on the reverse side (the base of the fabric) and cut the pattern pieces with fine scissors, spreading the fur apart.

Ample Fit and a Textured Effect Means Modern Comfort


Faux fur Jacket 126 | Burda Style 12/23
This faux fur jacket is wonderful thanks to its graphic short-pile chevron pattern and its cut which suits all shapes and sizes.
The soft and cozy synthetic fabric provides warmth and character while remaining lightweight to wear. The zipper and elasticated finishes at the bottom of the sleeves and hem reinforce the chic sportswear look that is very trendy this season.
Tips:
- Work with a single layer on a large flat surface
- Use a 90–100 needle, polyester thread, and an elongated straight stitch (3–3.5 mm).
- For assembly: place the fur against the fur (with the hairs facing inward) so that the seam is well hidden under the fur.
Men's Quilted Jacket Blends Technical Skill & Contemporary Style


Teddy plush Vest 117 | Burda Style 12/24
This sleeveless teddy vest for men, available in sizes 46 to 56, has a modern, casual look that's perfect for the spring or fall season.
Its soft, warm synthetic teddy fabric provides immediate comfort while remaining breathable. The straight cut and front zipper structure the silhouette and make it easy to layer. We love the two-part effect with a stand-up collar and smooth fabric interior.
An extra detail: the side pockets are practical details that are generally appreciated by men. The chest pocket is as functional as it is attractive.
Our tips:
- Make sure your scissors or rotary cutter are sharp for clean edges without pulling on the fabric.
- Overcast the seam allowances or use a serger to prevent fraying, especially if the teddy is made of polyester.
