This spencer jacket features herringbone stitches and slightly puffy sleeves, stylistic of Regency era fashion. Originally designed as a mockery of the extreme fashions of the Regency period, the Spencer jacket became a signature piece of the time. Oddly flattering, simple to wear, and fun to knit up, this jacket will become a perennial favorite in many seasons.
