I skimmed over the patternmaking side of things a little bit with the shirt post, because I felt like that pattern was pretty straightforward as such things go, and it would be easy enough to adapt from a premade pattern if you were so inclined. (I typically don’t because I enjoy patternmaking, I’ve already drafted a set of blocks to my own measurements, and I have a venomous dislike of fitting, but a lot of people feel differently about this.)
Ezio’s outer layers, though, are a little more interesting, if only because the shapes are so iconic. Based mostly on the way the layers came together at the collar and sleeves, I determined that I was looking at two distinct garments. One a short-sleeved jacket with long pointed tails and a wide collar; one a hip-length jerkin with puffed and slashed raglan sleeves and of course the pointed hood. I sketched out the under-layer first, since I’d need to have it done in order to fit the jerkin over the top of it, and hauled out my roll of pattern paper.
