Rocketeer Jacket Help!!!

[Mrdopey]

I am preparing to make a rocketeer costume this year and I am scratch building the Cirrus ( a future post will show the progress on that) as well as the helmet, but I am unable to find a good pattern for the Jacket. I know several places sell the jacket, but I really want to make it. I have scene the previous posts on this subject, but am hoping that someone has something new.
Thanks,

I haven't looked at old threads, but you can use McCalls M4745 and shorten it M4745 | Men's Civil War Costumes | Historical | McCall's Patterns (view B)

You might need to rework the front flap shape a bit, and add some shoulder tabs, but that pattern should get you started!

Even though that one has a band collar, you can probably find a collar from a shirt and work it onto the collar stand. Good luck!
