WHAT YOU WILL MAKE

Professional Tailored Jacket

The Paxton is a classic moto-inspired leather jacket with a notched collar, princess seams, and a fitted silhouette. This course teaches you every technique required to construct it professionally - whether in leather, faux leather, or suede.

You'll follow the Speed Tailoring method - a structured, unit-based approach that breaks the jacket into manageable sections before assembling them together.
This course uses the Paxton Jacket pattern, available separately.
