Jacket Conversion in an Afternoon

Well, Well, Well, - it looks like the ritual blood letting was more than worthwhile! Very nice work Star! I imagine your two wee ones will be amazing artists/craftspersons/scientists what with all the talent of their parents!

Star by name and Star by deed. Well done!

Wow, that looked way to easy, might have to get her indoors to have a look at this...

My thanks to my lovely Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess!

That is the understatement of the day for me.

You are all just too, too sweet. Thank you!

Seriously though, I learned how to do most if this stuff right here on X-Marks.

WE ROCK!

Be well,

Star

I'm bumpin' this one up so I don't have to dig.

This new jacket has become a favorite of mine, it is light weight, comfortable, and looks very sharp without looking too dressy.

In other words it's just perfect for smart day wear.

I saw the other day that Target now carries the same jacket in Khaki and mentioned it to the Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess. I joked that in another couple of months I might be able to score another bargain from the clearance rack.

She asked me if I would like another jacket? When I eagerly responded yes she said...

"Just go buy it"

She has a lot on her plate at work at the moment, so I may have to wait a month or so for her to find the time to convert the jacket.

Still, I am one lucky, lucky man!

Cheers

Jamie

Is it just my eyes, or do I see a second (presumably false) pocket flap added above the original, functioning flap? That's a nice touch, adds some balance and makes it look less like a jacket that was shortened. Well done!

Actually I think it's a functional pocket---it's called a "ticket pocket" if I recall correctly. I have an ancient suit coat in line to be bob-tailed that has just the same arrangement.

Well, it doesn't show on the original jacket, so I'm assuming that it is just an additional flap. Unless she got WAY ambitious!
