+1880s Sportswear Jacket
+=======================
+
+.. figure:: jacket.jpg
+   :align: center
+
+
+
+The drafting manual I've used for this jacket, :cite:`1892:cutters`, is
+from 1892, but tends to show shapes more typical of the natural form and
+second bustle eras
+
+Most of the jacket is sewn by machine with just straight stitches (so an
+historical threadle or hand cranked machine could be used), with few
+handstitched finishing seams. Handstitching the full jacket is also an
+option, if you don't have a machine: in that case use either a
+backstitch or running backstitch on all machine sewn seams.
+
+Note that this isn't a full pattern: there is a drafted block (or you
+can use a similarly shaped one you already have) and there are
+instructions on how to develop and then sew the jacket from that.
