/fa/ - Fashion

I probably know far less about applied construction than you do, squids... But I like what I see so far. It's good to see you taking this whole process from the ground up - making something like this from scratch is quite impressive.

I don't know if reversing the standard pull of the zipper is blasphemy in a situation like this, but I've always wanted my sleeve pockets to open by pulling the zip towards me, instead of reaching over and pulling down. However, I'm not sure if this might cause problems with the pocket getting pulled open at inopportune times.
While we're on zippers, would a double zip on a bomber be a major no-no? I love having jackets I can vent open at the bottom because it means I don't need to stretch out the fabric when I sit. It also provides an opportunity to show a triangular flash of color beneath via layering.
Have you found out what print you'll be lining it with yet? There are so many options in that department I wouldn't know where to begin.

Lastly, put some hidden stash pockets in the thing! Little secret places you can hide extra cab fare, a spare key or whatever. Something tucked away and velcro sealed, where only you will find it. I wish more garments had features like this. Back in my late 90's rave days we used to take apart pants around the seams and the crotch just to install little pockets. You never know when that space comes in handy.
