Old to New Jacket

Just thought I'd put up the following pic of a jacket I'm doing up for a buddy. Hard to get the light right as the colour is midnight blue.

This was a normal dress jacket he had, nice cashmere. Wanted something a little different for kilt wear, and being ex-mil he wanted it with a stand-up collar. Just need to put the buttons on, his ex-regimental Irish Fusiliers of Canada.

Looks great Moose. I don't know if I could bring myself to alter my Dress Blues blouse.

No, you probably wouldn't want to do that.

This was just your basic sports jacket he had in his closet. The lower pockets were removed, modified and became the upper pockets. Lapels were modified so as to be straight, and the standup collar was added, along with the lower sleeve mods. Cutout was obviously done as well, along with vent mod at the rear.

Just makes me think that we should be on the lookout for any old Nehru jackets at the thrift shops, eh?

By the way...what did Nehru call them?

Best
