Customer’s comments:1. Since the current jacket is double sided, there is double the amount of the nylon fabric. I would like to use this opportunity to create two pieces.

2. I understand, that in order to create these pieces, designer would require to do some patchwork. I have no preference around patchwork and combination of different fabrics laid together to form the shape (open to suggestions by the designer), but ideally not too patchy. The simpler the better.

3. Patchwork play with the existing Y-3 graphic is welome on both clothes.

4. Skeches on the right refer to my ideal measurements (taken from my favourite curent pieces that fit me well).

Zip-up track jacket: 1. Full length zip.
2. Two front pockets.
3. Elastic cuffs and elastic waist hem

Medium length shorts: 1. Elastic waist with a string
2. Two front pockets
