Reference garment: Silent Hill 2 remake jacket which is probably based on M65 US military jacket. I take design elements from both. The Silent Hill jacket looks more fitting while the M65 jacket is roomier.

I sewed most of the details except the pocket. Sewing the elastic was so difficult I broke a few needles. Next time I should make the elastic waistband and cuff separate pieces maybe It would be easier.

I think this is a better system rather than sharing google drive link. It save my drive space and it save me the effort of uploading the files.
The only downside I can think of is that all the files are packed in one zip file which is quite large to download, around 500 MB. But I believe we...

This recording shows how I add some more details like changing fabric, pockets, back flap, adding graphic, topstitches etc.
Another important step is the addition of shoulder pads. Without them the overall look is not good.

This is difficult for me to sew because it is knit fabric. Moreover, the fabric is very flimsy. The drape looks awful - you can't even see the pleat. I should get thicker knit fabric next time. This fabric is fine as a simple toile but not when I sew many details like in this one.
I origina...

As a novice sewer, this turns out better than I expected. This time I learn my lesson and add more ease to the skirt waist (4 cm compared to 1.2 cm that I use in Clo model) because I already anticipated that it will be tight there.

I cannot fully fasten the zipper unless I pull the waistband high up the waist. But this jean is supposed to be low-waist.
I identify the cause is that there is not enough waist ease. I thought that the 3 cm full ease that in use should be just enough. I failed to realize that low-waist ci...

Sorry this toile fabric is very light, it does not have the weight to properly drape the long pants-skirt.
Maybe the waist straps are not long enough, depending on the way you tie them.
One thing for sure is that I need to reinforce the point where the side-fold meet the side-seam. I ...

Maybe need a bit more ease because the real fabric is more bulky. From the videos and pics I see, the jacket also does not have lining, but I add it anyway.
Leather garments are probably sewn with simple seam reinforced with glue and topstitches. But I use felled seam in this toile for prac...

Sorry it took so long to finish this. I spend a lot of time learning how to draft and sew the pockets.
This is a step-up from basic toiles. I sew a complete zipper fly, pocket with bags, welt etc.
My sources:
Because I also sew now, it is not realistic anymore to produce 1 garment every week. I try to do so but most likely I will be making only three or at least two garments every month.
I also would like to set aside some time to learn some other stuff. Mainly texturing and other fashion...
