Maison Fauve - Sunset Jacket

About the Sunset Jacket

Sunset is a great jacket for when the sun goes down.  It has a unique collar and lots of options.  The closure can be via buttons or zip, and the bottom band uses either ribbing or elastic.  The sleeves have optional 'trench coat' inspired cuffs.  The type of fabric you use has the ability to change the look of this versatile pattern.  

 Unlike most Maison Fauve Patterns (which cover sizes 34-52), this pattern has the size range of 34-46.
