Pathfinder Vest Sewing Pattern - Men's/Straight Fit

Easy pattern with opportunity for customization

I made the Pathfinder Straight fit vest with a pixie hood and kangaroo pockets, out of a length of vintage, wool twill coating and lined it with a cotton flannel. I appreciate the tip on how much to lengthen the garment based on 1/2" for every inch of height over 5'10". I used another tip to put in concealed interior pockets. I installed a zipper on one of the interior pockets, it took some fiddling around to figure out how. I opted to put in a zipper instead of a button closure. I am happy with the way it came out, well maybe not that interior pocket zipper, and look forward to seeing my tall, lanky son wearing a pixie hood vest out in the wilds. I recommend this pattern. Thanks Twig and Tale for the great instructions and inspiration.

Fun and practical

Made a whimsical pathfinder for my partner and really enjoyed the sewing. Looking forward to making more. Great instructions made it easy to get a great finish
