This has become one of my favourite items of clothing to wear. I had not worn the shirt in a while and once I had the idea in my head that I wanted a bomber jacket, in a printed fabric, this seemed like an obvious solution.
I used the off cuts to make front facings and welt pockets, and a ribbed vest for the neck, cuff and hem edges.
The pattern piece and the ribbing cut, ready to attach to the neck edge.
These images show the use of the ribbing and the welt pockets. For full details on how to remake one of these for yourself have a look at the step by step instructions here.

Great idea, will have to copy it when I find a suitable piece on the $1.00 rack at the Salvos!
Wow! What a great refashion! You did a great job with the details and putting it all together.
Thank you very much. I had been noticing these bomber jackets everywhere, and I wanted one. It's a great way to update a shirt you've stopped wearing!
This is beautiful! Nicely done!

This is such a clever refashion — turning an unused shirt into a bomber jacket is really inspiring. The way you used the off-cuts for facings and welt pockets is especially smart, and the ribbing finishes it off perfectly. Projects like this really show why people appreciate thoughtful details in pieces like customized bomber jackets from Maker Of Jacket, where fabric and construction make all the difference.
