    Jacket design is the UL windbreaker from learnmyog, the trousers are knickerbockers called Cornelius from freesewing.org.

    Jacket is made from 3 component hardshell with 20000mm water resistance, the trousers are made from an old IKEA curtain :)

    Jacket also uses reflective garn on the decorative seams around the zipper and shoulders, adding some extra visibility. It’s a hazzle to sew with (rips all the time) but if you get it right it looks really nice.

        Turns out it’s an amazing fabric. Either hanf or linen, very good air circulation and cool on the skin on hot summer days, also pretty soft. I think I got 2 curtains with 2,4m x 1,4m for 15€ back then and already cut a pair of pleat-front trousers from the rest of it

      I find it unfortunate that one has to pay for the pattern [1], but I nevertheless think this is a cool idea for a store.

        • The pattern is priced at 20 $.

        I’m fine with paying for patterns, tbh having the direct comparison to freesewing.org, I appreciate the detail and thoroughness people put into the instructions on good store-bought patterns.

        But the price at learnmyog is far beyond what I usually pay. The 4€ for a pattern at pattydoo are absolutely OK for me compared to the 20$ at learnmyog…

            Was nearly as expensive as the fabric. That being sad it’s a solid pattern with good instructions. I was able to follow them without needing any additional input. Only the hood doesn’t extend far enough to the front.

              When you buy the patterns, do you receive them as a PDF, or do they send you actual 1:1 patterns that you can use out of the box?

              EDIT (2025-07-07T03:48Z): NVM I found it on their site: one can print the sections onto paper and tape them together [1.1][1.2], or use some projector app to project the pattern directly onto the fabric [1.2].

                If I get it, I go with projector optimized pdf. Otherwise I take printersized pdf, use pdfstitcher to make a large picture out of it, load it in inkscape, optimize for cloth utilization and then project it.

                You can see the projector setup in one of my previous posts 😎

      Thank you :) I’m pretty pleased with it. Only caveat is that the tape I used to seal the seams was the wrong one and won’t really stick to the fabric. But new one is already ordered and will hopefully do the trick.
