The Rowan Jacket is a fresh take on the classic jean jacket. It’s designed on our unisex size chart and works as a great layering piece. Wear it as a light jacket for transitioning from winter to spring, or use thicker fabrics for extra warmth in colder weather.


You can keep it simple or have fun with color-blocking to make it your own. The back panel features a sunrise or sunset design, perfect for using up those special fabric scraps. However you style it, the Rowan Jacket is a versatile go-to for any season.

The Rowan Jacket is all about versatility, making it the perfect piece for any season. Whether you're going for a casual, cozy, or bold look, here are some fun ways to style it!


Everyday Casual:

  • Throw your Rowan Jacket over a basic tee and your favorite jeans or leggings for an effortless everyday outfit. Add sneakers or ankle boots, and you’re good to go!

Cozy & Layered:

  • For cooler weather, layer it over a sweater or hoodie with joggers or wide-leg pants. Use a heavier fabric like denim or corduroy for extra warmth and texture.

Spring & Summer Ready:

  • Wear your Rowan with a flowy dress, a tank and shorts, or even a jumpsuit for a light and breezy outfit. Try lightweight fabrics for a relaxed, laid-back feel.

Meet the Designer


A little backstory: I’m originally from AZ, and their sunsets turned me into a lover of both sunsets and sunrises. I always knew I wanted to incorporate that into a design! The Rowan Jacket combines my love for jean jackets with knit details for the neckband and cuffs, plus colorblocking! If you know me, you know I can’t resist a good color-block pattern! And of course, big pockets! That’s when Rowan came to life. It’s one of my absolute favorite designs and the perfect year-round piece, depending on the fabrics you choose.


I hope you all love it as much as I do! Happy sewing friends! 💛
