1950s Men's Smoking Jacket
You may never have thought to sew a housecoat as a gift for loved one, or perhaps as a treat for yourself, but why not? This debonair robe has a deep shawl collar, cuff trimmed two-piece sleeves, and deep patch pockets. The sash is pulled through side carriers and is tied or looped at the centre front. Pockets, collar and cuffs may be made with contrasting fabric. Why not embroider a monogram initial for an extra personalised touch?
Please Note: This pattern is missing one small piece (Upper Fold A), this piece is easy to self draft and just requires to be a rectangle, the same width as the top edge of Upper Pocket and 1/2"-3/4" shorter in height than Lower Fold A
