What about the pinstriped jeans jacket?

What about? It is finished, yes!

It began like this:



This is the backside. It has four parts. In dutch we would call the upper one a "pas", in english probably a "pass" (in this model it is not a yoke). There is a lower part in the middle, that needs no comment.. The two side pieces provide the fitting, that's why they wrinkle when laying flat.

And here is the front side., shown from the interior:



The front of the jacket has an upper and a lower part. Two front pockets have been adjusted on the seam between upper and lower part. The pockets have been made from the fabric that will also be used for the lining, a beautifil dark blue soft shining fabric, with small round motifs.

Next, after connecting front and backside, and after setting the sleeves and the collar, you get this:



It is going to look like a jacket...

By fixing the collar, the lining has been fixed too, another construct of front, backside and sleeves.

So, just a waist belt, cuffs, buttons, buttonholes, and there you are.

The pinstriped jeans jacket is finished.




The story is quickly told. But, making such a jacket takes time. I guess it will take me some 20 - 30 hours to complete it, depending upon unexpected setbacks I encounter.
