Closet Core Fowler Barn Jacket XXS-6XL

The Fowler Jacket is a utilitarian and gender-neutral delight, offering two distinct outerwear styles in one pattern; select between a cozy quilted jacket and a workwear-inspired barn coat. Ideal for layering, Fowler is spacious and oversized with a boxy silhouette and a dropped shoulder, and includes a two-piece sleeve and bandless collar.

Completed with your choice of button or snap closure, Fowler is a comfortable, countryside-inspired jacket made for long walks and endless customization. View A creates a classic barn coat with double-layered patch pockets and a single breast pocket. It is completed with a sleeve hem facing, topstitched seams, and a traditional pressed hem. View B presents a quilted jacket with rounded patch pockets. It is completed with double-fold bias tape along all edges and hems.

SUGGESTED FABRIC

To create a quilted jacket:
Outer and inner layer − light- to midweight woven fabrics such as cotton poplin, lawn, voile, chambray and broadcloth, or linen. Drapey fabrics are not recommended.
