Description
I haven't designed a new garment in a long time... not since leaving school I think. I only developed and refined the designs I've already got. This however, will probably be the first new design of mine for a while.It's a modular jacket, so the base garment is a short vest. Then you can attach sleeves, a collar, and a skirt, or short sleeves, or puffy sleeves or a tail or pockets etc. etc. etc. Right now I'm just working on the fit of the torso, and hopefully I may have time to finish it before this next winter is over so I can actually wear it.
I'm planning on having it properly tailored to fit. The first sleeves will be constructed with a bend in the elbow and will taper to the wrist so I will need the front half of the arm to open up. The skirt I want to make for it will be double breasted to match the top half and will function the same. It will also have pleats on the sides and back.
I think I'll probably wax it as well, to handle the wet winters of the NW.

right, that's the idea. I'm going to do a zipper round the bottom so that it holds the weight more evenly instead of getting pulled at just a few points.

Well now a days I pretty much strictly use twill fabric of some kind, at least for my utilitarian items. That's what the outside of this will be and I think I'll line it with corduroy. I also want to wax the outside to weatherproof it.

You know, it might be my connection, but i can't actually see the picture. It displays the tumbnail in messages, but not the actual desing when I click on it :/ and I could see the other deviations in my messages....

Oooooh, this is nice! I wouldn't mind having a garment like that, that is, if it came in women's sizes. Nicely done!
