zip zip


I first saw a jacket like this on one of my favorite blogs, Love Aesthetics, and it was love at first sight. I planned on making one for a while, but couldn't find a zipper long enough for the life of me. I finally decided to just cut my loses and do it with the longest zipper I could find. Considering I would probably always wear it this open regardless, I don't hate the way it turned out. It's a really easy DIY if you're comfortable with a sewing machine. It only took be about an hour to do!

And while I have your attention here's my quick two cents about menswear fashion week. All I've got to say is; daaammn I need a good wide brimmed hat!

lol crosseyed.
I like how it looks with the too-short zippers, the little cuts look great. It's a nice detail that makes it look more original, rather than just a jacket with a zipper running across it...

you're still not over wide brimmed hats? Can't remember if I told you I found an amazing one at my Grandma's house I'm planning on stealing.

It looks great with the zipper not running full circumference. Gives it character and a neat shape. Almost like it's neatly falling apart, but then you see the zips and it's like AHA!

That's amazing. How annoying on the zip. But it makes a sort of heart shape when it loosely comes together.
Great blog, followed :)
