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.
