This timeless addition to your wardrobe also features princess seams, back fisheye darts, and two-piece sleeves with a full bicep option, and the classic biker-style details that make this a timeless piece for your wardrobe.
Here’s how seven Cashmerette makers took the Canton Moto Jacket and truly made it into their own masterpiece. We’re hoping that these will inspire your own personalized Canton Moto Jacket. Let’s take a look!
Christiana’s Canton Moto Jacket
Christiana went polished and professional with her wool herringbone Canton. She made a size 18 G/H graded to a size 20 at the waist. She chose View A and used the full bicep sleeve. In order to give it a more suit jacket vibe, she opted to skip the hardware.
Her measurements are 43” high bust, 48” full bust, 40” waist, and 49” hips.
Christiana had this to say about her Canton Moto Jacket:
“There are a lot of pieces to this pattern but it comes together beautifully. Really great construction. I love how well it fits! The lines are all very smooth. I plan to make a pair of matching herringbone trousers to make a modern suit out of the Canton!”

Bernice’s Canton Moto Jacket
Bernice is giving us cool and classic vibes with her Canton. She chose View A with a timeless black twill and we just can’t get enough! She sewed a size 6 C/D with a 1” small bust adjustment.
Her measurements are 33” high bust, 35” full bust, 30” waist, and 37” hips.
Bernice shared this about her Canton:
“I love the style lines and how all the pattern pieces fit together without issue. I like that there are instructions to reposition the pocket markings after shortening the bodice. My favorite part of sewing the Canton was finishing the facing and lining edges. It’s like magic when you turn it to the right side—what a clean finish without any hand sewing needed!”

“The Canton was a complicated but satisfying sew. I enjoyed being able to take my time through each step, and as normal with Cashmerette patterns, when I trusted the instructions it all came together perfectly. I am looking forward to warmer weather and being able to wear this as a layering piece over dresses. I feel very put together while wearing it!”
