Some people think jacket making is easy, so I thought I would make a thread to show the steps. Readers can participate or even help if they like.
The idea of developing this jacket came as BK started to get involved in making civilian jackets to provide more choice for its customers. It's always hard to choose which jacket to re-create as it has to appeal to the fans, otherwise it may end up a disaster.
So the first stage is "Research" until a nice design is found. Looking at books, websites, catalogs, our photos collection, ebay, reading people's opinions at forums, bloggs, etc. And then a nice design is found.
here it is.
This thread is nice because it will guide you through the process of reproducing a jacket and as I said it is "live", that means developments are posted as soon as they are made. We only started this last week, so you will be able to see how much time it will take from start to finish.
So now that the jacket is found the second stage is "More Research"
to be continued...
