Final Design!

Finally I had the last meeting with Chris to get his opinion and feedback on the final line up. I found what he had to say very helpful. He told me to remove some of the pockets which were unnecessary and to concentrate on what would actually be needed and used on the jacket. This was helpful as I found that in the long run I would of made things harder for myself adding things on to the jacket that would have been time consuming where as I can now concentrate more on the smaller details that I have. Chris had also told me to add, on the shoulders, attachments that would act as handles, similar to those on the jackets of car racers when they are pulled out of the car after each race. I thought this was a good idea so I added it to final design.

My Final Design...

 

 

 

After taking into consideration everything, I created my final design and I am happy with the overall outcome. I added the shoulder handles as Chris said and also the lapels on the arms as seen on the jacket in the film ‘Drive’. This was a good source of inspiration and I decided to use this technique as it would give the wearer of the jacket ease and I like the idea of having two different layers. The pocket on the side above the waist has been added because when driving, it is much easier to reach a pocket on the side by the waist rather than the hip. The elbow patches were added to prevent any rubbing against the car window whilst driving.

For the pants, I have basic insert pockets at the top but at the lower end below the knee I have a bellow pocket on each leg. I have done this so that the pockets are easily accessible when sitting down in a car.
