This is a sewing pattern for a Jacket worn between 1890 and 1900 for e.g. cycling.

The jacket is styled like a typical bicycle jacket about 1890, with giant sleeves, but relatively small lapels. The stripes are applied to the jacket and do not have any specific function, they just serve as a fashion detail, derived from the men´s “Norfolk Jacket”, a very popular jacket that time. The jacket is cut narrow around the waist and has a peplum at the back. The jacket can be worn with our without a corset underneath.
I recommend sturdy jacket fabrics from wool or cotton, like tweed or twill.
Front and collar are stiffened with hair canvas, alternatively to hair canvas you can use a middleweight to heavy linen fabric. The canvas is pad stitched to the lapel and collar, a technique still common in sewing tailored men´s jackets today. If you´d sew the jacket from a lighter-weight fabric, not suitable for pad stitching, flatlining with middleweight cotton fabric or silk organza will serve as well.
A waxed and slippery cotton fabric was commonly used for lining jackets.
Additional width at the collar and lapel is already considered and added at the particular pattern pieces.

A seam allowance of 5/8" (1,5cm) is included.

Fitted to be worn with or without a corset underneath.

Also suitable for cosplay or steampunk costumes.
