Third Place Threads Jacket

Third Place Threads Jacket
Liner has been heavily modified and is lighter with lots of insulation removed and a lighter back panel. Removed one pocket, added a few fun patches.
The patch is upside down on purpose, a homage to my mom.

Moves really well still because the liner isn't sewn to the outside on the back where the letters and patches are.
Thick insulation that will be carefully trimmed down, making sure not to cut any of the quilted seams.
Back section of liner cut out because it will be replaced with lighter flannel.
Pocket removed from liner.

Got this Berne work jacket at the thrift store, and it fits well but is heavily insulated. I want to lighten up the insulation, remove one of the inner pockets, and add some fun lettering and patches.
