rethink-fashion: It was interesting to see the Yohji jacket on Jason and then on Ashleigh. We played with how you could wear the jacket. We realised it would work better one way on the male form and better on the petite female form the other. 1. the first way which we had always thought because of a picture we saw was to have a shawl like collar at the front. This way worked much better on Jason 2. Upside down, the jacket then had massive lapel-like flaps at the Centre Front. The fit Ashleigh much better. The individual ways sat really well on each, but both ways showed a tightness in the elbow area and a beetle shell back which I wanted to reduce the size of. The sleeve length is longer on one seam to allow room to gather, but I don’t want to do this so I will shorten one end to make it even. I’ll also bring the arm is to become tight at the forearm and wrist rather than flare out. Yamamoto suggests making this out of wool but I’m interested to try using vintage denim patched together. I’ll find large jeans at an op shop and see how that goes. Good luck kween -- source link
