Deconstructed Jacket

In one of my design lessons, I had to use a men's jacket and deconstruct it to create different ideas and designs and to look at the different seams and lining that was used.

I took off pockets and added them to other sides of the jacket to create another look. I also used another jacket and combined them both to make a completely new one. It was good to take the lining off the jacket away as you could then see what was underneath and how everything had been placed such as the hidden pockets.


This is the jacket before it was deconstructed with all its details including buttons, button holes and pockets...

This is the jaclet without the lining. It was interesting to see how much work had taken place under the lining and how the lining is important in giving the jacket a neat finish hiding everything inside.

This lining when it was taken from the jacket...

The lining placed on top of the jacket instead of inside to give a different look and effect...

Here, I have used a completley different jacket which has also been deconstructed and used it to create new arms...

New collar...

Pocket that has been added on...

This is a pocket from the front of the jacket which has been cut out and added to the back...

The lining from a different jacket added as a panel on the front of the original jacket with added pockets...

Again, the back pocket which I added...
