CHULA is a cropped, fully lined jacket that gives the classic tweed look a cheeky reboot. Clean raglan lines meet an off‑centre front that’s perfect for showing off whatever closure you fancy – chunky statement buttons, satin ribbons, or handmade ties for a trendy twist. You can also add ribbons around the hem, neckline, and sleeves. Discreet inner pockets add function without bulk, perfect for stashing essentials while keeping the silhouette sleek. Swap tweed for bold bouclé or denim, colour‑block the raglan sleeves, and watch the jacket transform. Ditch the lining and use just the facings for a light, blouse‑style version with a crisp neckline. A clever shoulder pleat and dart sculpt the fit, keeping CHULA sharp yet easy to wear.

Fabric Recommendations:
Choose a medium to heavy‑weight woven fabric with a bit of drape – think wool bouclé, tweed, or suiting. For a fully lined jacket version, pair it with a smooth, fluid lining so that the jacket easily glides over other layers. If you’re hacking the design to make a blouse, opt for a light to medium‑weight fabric such as poplin, twill, or soft denim. When you use lightweight fabrics, you can fuse interfacing to your facing pieces. Select fibres that suit your lifestyle: natural fibres such as wool and cotton breathe well, age beautifully, and stand up to wear.
