Jumbo Cord is a great fabric for a lightweight jacket/heavy weight shirt - Shacket? We have a fantastic collection of corduroys in at the moment, in a beautiful range of colours - but Dusty Rose is definitely one of our favourites.

The McCalls 8210 is a great pattern with many satisfying design features - welted pockets, pleats on the sleeves, inverted pleat at the back - check it out.
