THAT COLOR

A week ago I was stuck working in the studio very late several days in a row to finish a five piece look for class.  I had an extraordinarily small amount of time to make everything so I focused most of my attention on the jacket I was making.  It's actually the third motorcycle jacket I've made this year - one of the others was shorter, slimmer and in black leather (I'll get photos of it eventually) and then there was the dress I made in crepe (see it HERE).

This time around I wanted to switch things up a bit.  Nothing radical, just a curved zipper that has a cutaway effect when worn open.  The fabric was also extremely important.  I intended on making the jacket in army green canvas or twill, but then I found this double face twill when I was shopping and the faded wasabi/chartreuse color proved irresistible.

The first four photos are from the third night working on it when I was finishing up; the photos after are of the jacket finished with the snaps put in on the collar and lapel.  Annnnd I also took photos of the vest I was wearing the night I finished it.
