ABOUT THE GARMENT

The Jule Jacket is a pattern mix and texture rich jacket inspired by the Bavarian folklore clothes called “Janker”. Designed to be worn oversized, ending a bit above your hip bone.

The shoulder seams sit on the back of the shoulder so that the jacket is slightly longer in the back than at the front, which creates an asymmetrical shape.
