She suggested salvaging the rest of the jacket to make a 5 button vest. We went shopping at a local thrift shop and came home with a nice wool black/gray harringbone 2-button jacket that we're going to convert.

I'm going to order a tux jacket and use Kevin's gauntlet pattern to make a nice Argyle.
Thrift shops and the backs of closets are wonderful places to look for jackets to convert! Wearing a jacket that you have converted or had converted is much more satisfying than buying one (in my opinion)
