Lace-Up Stand-Collar Trench Jacket

An anorak-style jacket with a high stand collar and a front zip under a snap storm flap, cinched at the waist by a drawstring that blouses the fabric above it and lets it flare gently below. A single flap pocket with a snap closure sits at the hip, and the dropped shoulder keeps the upper body loose before the waist pulls it in, creating a blouson shape that's fitted at the waist without being fitted throughout. The smooth woven fabric has enough body to blouse cleanly rather than collapsing flat, and the storm flap over the zip adds a bit of extra weather protection at the front. Pull the drawstring tight for a defined waist, or leave it loose for a straighter, more relaxed silhouette.

A smooth woven fabric with enough weight to blouse cleanly at the drawstring waist without collapsing, while staying soft enough to move at the dropped shoulder. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and re-tie the drawstring while damp to help the blouson shape reset. Loosen the drawstring fully before washing so the waist section doesn't cinch and crease unevenly in the machine, and hang to dry rather than laying flat.

The drawstring waist creates its shaping through a pulled cord rather than cut-in darts or a fitted lining, which keeps the pattern pieces simpler to cut. A simpler, adjustable shaping method also means the same jacket can flatter a wider range of body shapes without needing separate fitted sizes.
