I want to hit that mark for people's choice so that is why I thought the chicken jacket would be cool. I have to find a jacket pattern that might work and saw a couple on Nancy's Notions I liked which would work with this idea. A straight cut cardigan type.

I do like the cozy quilted jacket but not sure this idea would work with that pattern.
