This Biker Jacket Project has taught me so much about the more complicated sewing techniques such as pockets with pocket jetts, zips and inserting a lining into a garment like this. I now feel that I can tackle these details with precision and quality whilst I have also learnt about the history of the biker jacket as an iconic piece in great depth. Because we could not alter the pattern of the jacket I had to find ways to make my jacket individual and fit within my unique style. I achieved this by spending a lot of time researching the perfect fabric for my jacket. I originally wanted to use a printed neoprene fabric but after discussing it with my tutors I opted to use a woven fabric. The fabric I used was a plastic backed nylon with a sheen to it, knowing I wanted to use a bright, stunning colour, I found a bright yellow that suited my style. I then found a quilted look silver polyester that I loved for the lining. Continuing with the yellow and silver theme I found yellow zips with silver teeth, silver press fastenings, eyelets and studs for the collar. I also used the silver studs to create my own zip pulley’s along with some silver faux leather cord that I sourced on one of my trips to London. I bought three meters of the silver lining fabric and I had a lot left over once I had completed my jacket so I created some slouch trousers with waist pleats and a waistband to complete my biker look for the photoshoot. For the photoshoot I sourced a vintage white biker helmet and round sunglasses to accessorise the finished look. I styled my hair into the desired bad hair day/ helmet hair look I had created for my project
