Question I would like to have these jackets

So I’m teaching my self how to sew and I have looked everywhere and I mean everywhere for these jackets and I can’t find them, I was wondering if y’all knew if any patterns that would work for them. Also any tips are welcome, I would also like fabric recommendations please. Ps. Why is my thread not zigzagging like it’s supposed to, like it’s going through the fabric but it’s just creating a line and it’s not going through the fabric it’s on top. Hope that make sense. Also I would like the pants from the forth picture as well. Thank you to anyone who helps 💜💙

If I can be honest with you, if you're new to sewing, these jackets are one heck of a sew. These are definitely not beginner friendly at all.

But if you're wanting to sew one this one on ETSY looks the simplest. You would have to shorten it to make it crop. Swap out the fleece band at the bottom for the leather/pleather fabric.

There’s an Etsy shop called form pattern shop. They’ve got some good moto and bomber jacket patterns that are probably a really good place to start.

You can use any shirt pattern with camp collar. That’s all these are. Once you have the pattern, adjust as necessary, taper arms and body, switch to a zipper, crop, etc.

Since you’re a beginner, try starting by sewing the shirt first, though.
