Khaki Moto Jacket

I bought this casual cotton blazer a few years back when I got my first real grown-up job and wanted to dress semi-professionally. A couple years ago, I used the button relocation trick on this jacket to snug it up a bit, but clearly, after further weight loss, it's gonna take something a little more powerful this go 'round.

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.
