Description
I found this awesome, huge sportscoat in a dollar/pound pile at a thrift store. I added a hood to the Hikaru pattern, and made a few other modifications. I ended up keeping the hem from the original coat, as well as the front facings and the cuffs. The hood and side panels are made out of a red corduroy shirt, and I lined it in a seafoam green toile. This is the first time in a while that I’ve spent a lot of time making one thing, and I’m really happy with how it turned out!
Material Notes
old herringbone sportscoat, red corduroy shirt, cotton toile.

It looks great! Do you have a pattern for your hood? I’m thinking of making this jacket and having an attachable hood.

Fascinating! I love how you retained hints of the jacket’s former life and have combined them so well with its new look. Lots of fun juxtaposition that I can’t stop looking at.
