Customer’s comments:‘’ I really like the Lemaire jacket I found online. But it is too expensive. I wanted to do something with the Gi I haven’t worn for a while, since I no longer fit in it. So I thought it would be a good opportunity to transform it into the jacket I’d actually wear.
I like the simple silhouette of the jacket.
I understand, that the texture of the materials will be different through out the jacket, but I find this pretty cool. I would still like to retain a clean look with neat finishes, and would like to avoid rough edges and trims.
The jacket has some stains. But I will potentially wash it with a little bit of bleach once the jacket is ready.‘’
