Let's draft the pattern for this fabulous bomber jacket. The shape is simple but if you observe the seam lines you'll see how unusual the pattern is.
It starts from a basic block without darts and matching sleeve where some slash lines are added and pieces are merged creating new shapes ;)

To draft the pattern, start by aligning back sleeve to back bodice by matching notches.
