Another fantastic jacket conversion...

[linedrive]

If you have seen any of my other posts, I've been fortunate to find a local tailor that does exceptional work. It all started with a dark green wool jacket that I picked up for 50 cents at a good will. I went in and explained what I wanted to do. She had never done one before, so we marked it up and I hoped for the best.

When I went to pick it up, I was very happy. Needless to say, I have gotten some nice comments about it from the rabble when I posted it. (original thread here)

After that experience, I took them a Harris Tweed jacket (again, I purchased for about 7.00). Each of those were $25.00 for the work, and it took about 5 or 6 days.

So, this week, I took a third jacket in. It is a lighter weight black/charcoal Brooks Brothers that I had purchased at an outlet. The problem with the jacket was that it was a long (and I am not). I never wore it, so I took it in. This time, I had the tailor create "NEW" pocket flaps and sewed them on (in short, the pockets were too low, so the bottom of the new flap, now covers the previous opening). They are not functional, but it makes the jacket look better. This one cost me a total of $40.00. Again, I am very happy with the cut.
