Sportcoat adaptions: call for pics

[KiltedCodeWarrior]

Alan,

I am traveling this week, but I will post some pics when I get back this weekend. I got a jacket from the Salvation Army for $3, and had a tailor modify it for $40. I think I should have had it taken up just a bit shorter, but was afraid to make it too short.

Jacket shortened, slash pockets sewn closed, flaps for the pockets added (making the pockets look higher on the jacket, epaulettes added. Total cost for alterations from the tailor $90.

Alan, Ok to use on your site.

Cheers

Dave, Excellent job there. My wife does window coverings but will not attempt that. I would do a kilt but convert a jacket? Too much for me. Once again, GREAT JOB

The buttons were bought from our local craft shop, I have not got a picture of the back of the jacket.
