Optimized down jacket

It does not always have to be a whole new jacket, sometimes it is enough to revise something proven.

Jean has lengthened his down jacket and upgraded the loft. He writes about it:

Thanks a lot for the down and the taffeta!

I just finished my down jacket. I started from a quechua inuit x-light and I took away the vertical sewing. it makes better baffles.
Then I opened every baflle and filled it with some down.
Finally I added some length to the jacket and the arms because it was way to short. (black parts)

Thanks a lot again, here are some photos !

Price of the whole project: 50€ and around 30 hours of work.

bye!
Jean
