Napoleon jacket Sewing Patterns | DRCOS Patterns & How To Make

This is a free sewing pattern for a Napoleon jacket with decorative panel seams and topstitching. The jacket is designed to fasten with buttons, and when the top button is left open, it transforms into a tailored-style collar.

The original design was drafted some time ago, and the sleeves may be slightly shorter. Please check the sleeve length against your own measurements and adjust as needed. The waistline is slightly shaped with panel seams for a smart, fitted look when worn casually.

When I made this jacket, I used faux leather and contrasting thread for decorative stitching, which added a striking accent. While this version does not include lining or pockets for simplicity, lining instructions can be created using the facing lines marked on the pattern. If desired, you can also add pockets to the panel seams.

This jacket can be styled for cosplay, military-inspired outfits, or as a unique fashion piece. The pattern already includes seam allowances—simply print, assemble, and cut to begin sewing.

The production process is explained with translation software.
