Jimi Hendrix Army Jacket

We have been working over the past 18mths to perfect the Jimi Hendrix army jacket and still the work goes on.
The 1st creation was back in March 2009, when we were commissioned by Ata a young university student to produce a budget jacket.


We worked together from our experiance, posters and photographs to produce a basic shape, trimmings and design.
Next we chose the cloth and frabrics to be used in the main construction of the hendrix jacket. it needed to be wool and needed to be good qaulity
Our buyers gathered the buttons and braid and set to work hand stitching the arm design forllowed by the chest rope and gold lace braid.

The effect and end result was great and just what Ata was expecting.

But we wanted more, and set about improving the design and quality...
