Notes	I found this heavy twill in the second hand store and tie dyed it. I matched the dye pattern for all but the cuffs. I didn't have enough fabric to match them. It is sewn with copper colored nylon upholstery thread. I lengthened the jacket from a crop jacket to hip length. Also, I removed a lot of fabric from the waist area to create a smooth look instead of the original gathered waist. The pattern seems to have issues with the belt not being the right size. I re-drafted it. I like this pattern and plan to make it again with used denim. I want to take it more toward the grunge direction.
