Vogue 8804 vs 8259 pattern differences

The Claire Shaeffer release of the new Chanel jacket pattern was timely for me as I've been working away on my muslin, so I've taken a break and looked at these patterns side by side once again.

8804 - on a size 16
Sleeve
 - Is 3" shorter
- 2 1/4" wider
- Is a 2 button vent vs 3 button
- sleeve hem is not curved - straight and square

Neckline
- Has no collar

Instructions/techniques
- Has bust dart stay

Body of jacket
- Has no side seam but a side panel
- more shaping, less boxy
- Center front is squared off instead of gently shaped at the neckline and hem
- Still has quilting guidelines
- Is about the same length

*** Update Claire Shaeffer wrote in to add some more differences for those of you who are keeping track**


The front sleeve on 8804 is on a slight bias. 
There are hand-sewn darts on the back lining to "shrink" out some of the fullness.
Pockets
- Sized a little smaller
- Placed below the bust


So this one stands on it's own, it's not 8259, and if you were thinking of buying the pattern and  lengthening the sleeve, it's a completely different curve on this version, but you don't need a sleeve that's as long as the one on 8259 (I've shortened it 1 1/4" and it's still long).

Now back to work on my muslin....
