the process

here are a few images of my process of the jacket

The first image shows a technique i trialed in relation to lining the hood.
the pieces of lining where joined together and then folded on itself and a herringbone stitch
was used to allow a bit of movement so the pleats on th top of the head could open up, the concept of moving to protect oneself. (unfortunately this technique didnt work it was too bulky and the pleats didnt contain that sharp effect like i wanted it to.another method mick cam up with was much better. the lining pieces are attached when producing all the pleated sections as opposed to after (shown above). this technique is much better and sits flat and is much easier to press! to give that sharpness!

here is some photos of joining the hood to the jacket.
below is the final toile of the hood. fully lined and faced with the wrap extension.sleeves: this is the sleeves i toiled it two times, because i had to alter the shoulder, i wanted the shoulders to be rather structural and big, previously i wanted them to have a pointy triangle like shape however time is limited and there is so much going on with the jacket.
also in this photo you can see the pleated section of the back. it turned out rather well, which i am happy about.
