Jacket Conversion in an Afternoon

Sydnie,

It is a functional third pocket that came with the jacket originally (it is hard to see in the first photo. . . [snip]

Got it now, thanks!

Still think it adds to the "balance" of shortened jacket, will have to keep that in mind even when it's not part of the original construction. . .

While I have no skill myself to do these sort of alterations , I do think that the most crucial element for a successful conversion is to find the right jacket in the first place. It would seem to save a lot of time and effort and the end result will be far better for the tailor / seamstress.

Cheers
