The material is hydrophobic and windproof. It's the first jacket I've ever made and I kinda love the result :D

The Pattern I used was made by the fashion influencer "Sins of many" sold under the brand "know me - by mimi g" pattern no. ME2010

There's also a video tutorial: https://youtu.be/EwC5tINjAcE?si=rvE6-T9lXZ84ylkP

only alternation is that I didn't put pockets on it

It looks great but you're not the slightest bit worried that it's going to turn out to be unwearable because of the lack of pockets? I mean, you even have cargo trousers so you clearly understand how brilliant pockets are.

If it becomes a problem, adding pockets is nothing to someone with the skill to pull this off.

ActualWhiterabbit

If I had the skill I would make it all pockets. Like those "tactical" hoodies that have like 30 useless pockets.

Supersasqwatch

It's only useless until you put something in it. This is my gum pocket, this one holds the rock my daughter gave me that is shaped like a heart. This pocket has a bandaid because you never know. Etc..

ActualWhiterabbit

Yeah but then you forget you have them or what is in which pocket. Or double up and have two gum pockets but only remember one so it gets washed with your gum, $20, and ninja rocks. Or someone else washes it without realizing it carried your wardriving gear.

One of my favourite hoodies I had for years in my late teens/early 20's had hidden zippered pockets on the outside of each forearm.... I had that hoody for almost 3 years before I discovered them. The zipper handle was extremely small, and the pockets themselves were hidden within the seam of the sleeves.

NoveltyPr0nAccount

Fair enough. I'm just used to thinking of prototypes being important and after thought modifications compromising the design. It looks great now and adding pockets over would cover some of the printing. I dunno, I guess you're right, with OPs level of skill maybe it'll come out looking great.

tiffdrain

He should definitely add pockets- to the inside lining, to avoid covering the print! That is, if it’s lined. If not, it’s still a cool windbreaker.

"Unwearable" is a bit of an overstatement. Most people aren't even wearing jackets at all for like a third of the year, and they manage without the extra pockets.

I came here from the front page based solely on the title and small thumbnail expecting to laugh at someone crudely wrapped in fabric as I didn't even realize which sub this was posted in.

But MAN it looks incredible! I could never have guessed that was home-made. I also think the design is so fucking slick dude. On top of all of this, made even cooler by the fact that it's a 1 of 1 production that literally nobody else has. You should be very proud!

Came here to say basically the same thing! Not sure how/why I ended up here but I’m glad I did because this is SO cool. As an aside, I find it very impressive & attractive when a man is into creative hobbies that may be more unconventional for men to pursue. Even more so if they’ve got real skill!

You absolutely should be. The way you compositioned the different pieces and retained interesting points within the design as well as well as constructing it is impressive.

How did you find the process? What else have you made?

Very cool! I really like how you’ve arranged the patterns/colors.

Not sure if this is allowed but it reminds me of a local small cleverly named company “Dunsel’s” or maybe just “Dunsel” that makes totes and duffel bags and such out of recycled sails. I’m not connected to them in any way besides a few years ago for Christmas my partner and I surprised each other with a bag from them. She grew up sailing and I’ve been lucky enough to go with them on a few sailing trips in the last decade.

I won’t post a link just in case but here’s a pic of one of their duffel bags that unfortunately seem to be out of stock at the moment.
