Jackets

Here are most of the jackets I have made both recently and a while ago.

I made this for Christy's birthday.

Here is a jacket that I made a while ago.  The sleeves are not finished and it is waiting for an owner.

This is the rain jacket that I have worn for probably the last 10 years.  It is the same pattern as the jackets above.  I bought the pattern at The Rain Shed in Corvallis.

It is all dirty and old, but it has served me well.

I once rode my fixed gear for 8 hours in the rain and it kept me totally dry.

I was worried about the thin reflective layer letting water in. So I backed it with Tyvek Home Wrap.

This is a thermal cycling jacket.  I made the pattern from a thermal jacket I already had, but was too loud to wear all the time.

Pretty straightforward and simple.

Shortly after I made it, I crashed my bike on the road and ripped holes in the back.

I use this one for stuffing in jersey pockets and wearing during training rides.  I cut off the sleeves because my arms sweat a lot apparently.

It's windproof!

This is made of a material that backpackers use as a ground tarp. It is really lightweight and packs down small.

I am planning on making a few more jackets this winter, so I’ll post those later.
