My DIY Tweed jacket

[OFCJAX]

So I found a donor Jacket at the local Goodwill for $5 (as well as some $1 shirts for a lucky Xmarker). Following the spectacular advise and photos of our intrepid DIYers, I have completed mine in time for Christmas. Mine had slash pockets so I utilised them, opened them up and trimed the bottom of the pocket for more useful storage. Wood buttons on the sleeves and I think I'll add some eppilettes later.

MacDanar said all I was missing was some sheep and a staff.
I got lucky with a matching cap.
Here's the back: I know, it needs to be pressed.

The sides so you see the curve.

Other side. Note the wooden buttons.

Good grief, I need to spend more time in the gym and less on my ***.

Sheep... TO HERD, of course! Liza's got walking sticks, I think. Maybe you can mod one into a shillelagh. I must say, you were looking quite dapper, Tweedy McTweedington.

Jacket conversions fit right in to my Scottish tendencies. Looks good!

Smashing! Headed for the pub?

Very nice. I have two tweed jackets hanging in my closet. Maybe I'll have to try a conversion on one.
