The Woods pattern’s cut sits on the body without constraint or excess ease. At the shoulder, an oblique cut adds dynamism to the model while the pockets emphasize this effect.
The back line is also highlighted by a cut that extends onto the sleeves and ends with a vent. The cuffs are angled for a modern and original touch.
A round pleat adds ease to the back shoulder while the hem is shaped like a shirt tail to soften the overall look of the model.
An optimized booklet, neat and adapted finishes
To easily play with contrasting topstitching, the order of the booklet’s steps is optimized to avoid changing the thread too often.

Finished garment measurement chart:
My shirt, overshirt, and jacket versions are all cut to my size, in 36.
I did not size up the overshirt and the jacket and I easily wear them over my Holocene sweater or over
other light sweaters. To wear them over thicker sweaters, I advise you to size up the pattern.
Use the table below to determine the best size!
