I removed the button and pockets. I carefully picked out the dart seam on one side and the front edge seam on the other. Then I inserted a zipper on each side and resewed the seams. It was a little more involved than that makes it sound, but yeah, not terribly difficult.
I decided not to do anything permanent with the slightly-too-short sleeves just yet. I like the casualness of the cuffed sleeve. I think it complements the style and fabric of my new jacket.

Seriously cool! I love incorporating zippers and this is the perfect project for it! I love this and now need to do something just like it ;)
I love this idea! Way cool, thanks for sharing it.
Great idea. I like how the zip completely changes the look of this jacket

Wow! I was looking for someone who had made such a refashion (button-up jacket to zipper). I love it! You are a genius ! :D
Super cool refashion. Great job.
I love the side zippers and buttons on sweatshirts and sweaters that I've been seeing these days. Great refashion!
