sweet jebsus. where did you get gore tex? i don't know where to find a pattern either because i wanna make my own jacket but i've never bothered drafting a pattern because i didn't know where to find fabric for it. but what you can do is lay a jacket you have down and use muslin(cheap undyed cotton) or an old sheet, or any cheap cotton fabric that you can write on, and just pin out the pieces, and trace them, and add your seam allowance. and you have a pattern. you can just make a sample first so you know if fits properly and etc. i can maybe do a tutorial this week if anyones interested.
