    The plan was to convert it. Today the Lass was kind enough to tackle it.

    That's a nice jacket. Did she close the center vent in the back? And/or add two side vents? I don't see a curve in the front. Is it cut straight like a military jacket? A picture of the back and another of the front would be great. I have a Harris Tweed jacket that my wife is planning to convert for me.

    It had a single vent, which she kept. It is cut straight. The jacket had patch pockets, which she cut off.
    Ill try to take some side/back pix this week.
