I think that this jacket looks a lot better in person. The photos just don't do it justice. However, I had a lot of trouble with all of the bulk at the seams, topstitching was a horrible problem, even after I cut away most of the bulk there. All of the fabric came from scraps from rummage sales and thrift stores. I cut this jacket out before I made the original Silverlake jacket, but I was too intimidated to start sewing. Most of this jacket was much easier than making the first one, mostly because I had already worked out the problems. The fabric was a pain though, my sewing table has rough and splintery spots that kept snagging --urk!
