DESIGN DEVELOPMENT Altering the arm hole seam and colour palette on this Core jumper

Playing with direction of the stripes

Longer cuff size to come out from blazer to show stripe

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Smart Pants Developments

This design was innuence heavily by historical denim workwear as the lower pockets are very large.

Starting with the classic denim style I have developed my designs using patches, details and inspiration from historical denim work wear.

This design combines similar characteristics of the above jacket however with added patch details. Jean Developments
