The link above provides detailed information regarding different pocket types, jacket types and detailed information regarding different trouser styles. The contents page consists of two pages and I really did find this always helped me when deconstructing my garments and being able to refer to the right terminology as images are also added along side detailed explanations. 

The screenshot above was taken from Chanel website of their spring and summer collection 2015, I like their use of inserted pockets on the two top middle pastel coloured garments. 

For more information on their collection please follow the link below:

Jean Paul Gaultier, a French designer is one of many which through his 2013 A/W collection demonstrated here, has used many different seam lines such as top stitched seam lines, french seams, flat-felled seams and many more. He also represents different pocket types and fastenings. Therefore from looking at his collection the fashion terminology which I have learnt through this process has widened my understanding of what really goes into a collection of garments rather than just only understanding the latest trends.

Deconstruction process of the jacket

Deconstruction of Trousers

My Jacket Comparison 

I bought this jacket for £50 from the Lookbookstore online. I thought this could be a good  comparison to the jacket I'm deconstructing because it has many similarities, but also many differences too. For instance, the hood is also removable with a zip, just like the jacket I'm using for this project. However, the hood on the jacket above has fur and padding within the polyester blend of fabric to create more warmth in the winter time. On the other hand, the jacket I'm taking apart has a hood which is made from three panels sewn together. 

Here are some more photos I've taken while visiting  Selfridges in London, As you can see, these Karen Millen trousers provide a very smart, but casual look. However, the trousers I'm planning to deconstruct within the project are long and have pockets at the front and back, whereas the trousers in these images only have one slit back pocket.

The photos I have taken here represent the same style of coat as the one I will be taking apart within this project. However, this version is more on trend and is available in All Saints for £276 currently. Furthermore, as you can see the materials used are completely different. This coat has a thicker texture to it and is more designed for the winter, whereas the coat I'm taking apart is more designed for the rainy season. (these images where taken in Selfridges Oxford Street). 

These flat drawings are of the trousers and as you can see the pockets and fastenings have been included. Therefore, if it was to go into production the sewing team would have a small, but precise visual indication as to where every detail should be located. 

As you can see this is a flat drawing of the jacket which I have done through Photoshop. The flat drawing is normally how designs are laid out on paper to send to the manufacturer in the production process of the garments. This ensures the production team are aware of the stitch lines, how many pieces the coat will be made up from and where all the fastenings and pockets are located. 

    

The photos above show my second garment which is a pair of trousers. The trousers just like the jacket have two different types of fastenings, namely, a zip  at the front of the trousers and a button on the waist band. In addition to this, the trousers also have two different types of pockets which are located at the front and the back.

         

These photos show the jacket  that I have purchased for this deconstruction project. However, for the moment, as you can see, the jacket has two different types of fastening one is a zip and the other velcro. The jacket also has two different types of pockets both located at the front of the jacket. The first two pockets are smaller then the two located at the bottom. Another difference between the two pockets are the zips which are straight across the jacket for the top pockets and side ways for the side pockets. 

 The garments above are from TopShop's 2014 winter collection on the runway and as you can see there are many different types of garments. Therefore they would have required many different methods to have been used to give them the right pockets and fastenings to go with the designs.
