Tent Jacket

Tent Jacket, image 1
Fig. 1 — Hallam in the Alps

I had a tent for 10 years

We traveled the world together

I loved it well

But nothing lasts forever. After multiple rounds of breaking and repairing that became increasingly difficult after it was discontinued, it was clear that its life as a tent was over.

Rather than throw it away, I cut it at the seams

To a Russian tracksuit jacket pattern I found on the internet.

The pattern was in cyrillic, but it came out fine

The jacket is 100% tent. Down to the zippers.
