Was about to throw this military inspired jacket from last year's H&M to the trash when I realized the cut and quality(70% wool) were actually quite nice! So I decided to give this piece a second life this winter. Inspired by Burberry's zipper jackets from this season I added two zippers and decided to remove all the golden buttons.
I can't wait to wear it tomorrow! I literally jumped in the air when I realized that I managed to align the two zippers perfectly, this feels even better than buying a new jacket!

Gee, you come up with some really good ideas. The jacket looks so good.
Have you made you elizabeth ear-piece yet? Go to ladama.com - look in hardwear and there's an ear piece which is kinda like hers. But knowing you, you could D.I.Y
Oh, I love your DIY! Amazing job! Now I wish I had a jacket to do some DIY myself! :) I love Burberry jacket a lot and wanted to buy a COS version but wasn't lucky enough to find one. So, now for me this is an option ;) Thank you for the idea!
great
Holy! Dat heb je supermooi gedaan!! ZO tof!
Had een hele mooie zipper-jas gezien bij COS, soortgelijk dus, maar dan iets langer. Vond ik ook erg mooi, maar had wel weer genoeg centjes uitgegeven..
Heb jij trouwens wel eens op de Acne-site besteld? Ben zo benieuwd wanneer ik mijn schoenen binnen krijg..

That's a fantastic idea and it came out great, really nice jacket ;D xxx
what an amazing idea! how creative!
Wow thank you!:)

Good job!
Ik wou dat ik handig was met naald een draad.
genius. i need to do this diy.
you did an amazing job! i sew a little (mostly hemming stuff) and zippers are definitely one of the more challenging things to sew.
great job!
woww loving it! it looks great!
This is an excellent idea. How long did the zipper have to be?
Your sewing skills are undoubtedly BETTER than mine.
In love with what you did! Loving the new jacket
i would wanna buy that from u! amazing!!!!
wow, fantastic idea
it looks totally transformed haha.
What a wonderful idea. You did a great job on it!
brilliant !!
OMG how awesome! I love it!!!

very creative! and well done on aligning the zippers perfectly- they look in tact.
overall, i think the outcome looks pretty impressive!
oh what a great idea :)
You are my new DIY Queen :)
I would love to present your stunning blog on my blog. Is this ok for you?
Ik vind de before én after allebei erg mooi, maar de after is wel echt heeel cool, ben echt fan van die Burberry jas namelijk!!
Ik heb heel erg met de ISO-waarden, sluitertijden en diafragma van mijn camera zitten spelen en dit was het resultaat, haha.
Enneh... heb je je jas al gedragen? :D Hij is super!

Gewoonweg geniaal, ben al tijden aan het lonken naar die zipper jas van COS, echt geweldig! Krijgen we ook een keer een HOW TO? :p xxx

Wauwie! Hoe kom je er toch op!

Haha ik ben ook met dezelfde DIY bezig alleen ik heb een langere jas gekozen!..
Heb jij het zoals burberry helemaal aan de achter kant.. dat het ook echt 2 stukken wordt of alleen de zip tot het midden van de achterkant.
Ik maak er 2 lossen stukken van.. ( beetje vaag zo hahah )
Soms vind je items in je kast weer opnieuw uit. Of je vermaakt ze een beetje. Goed idee! Ik was echt verbaasd om te lezen dat je een uk hebt.. Tof!
i love the zipper jacket!
That is an AMAZING diy job! The jacket looks completely different and gorgeous! I love it!

jaa Zoe!
Ik was echt verbaasd! haha
heb haar net een bedank mailtje gestuurd :)
it's incredible. lucky bum! haha i want it.
Brilliant, it looks like a completely different piece once you added the zips and removed the buttons. I actually prefer your take on it to its original design.
Have you ever thought about becoming a designer? You come up with some really original ideas.
God it has come out so well - I never would've thought to do this. You always do the best DIYs x

That zipper jacket is GENIUS. I absolutely love it, even though I have to admit that I often think changing a beautiful piece of clothing is a waste.
this is awesome!
Reminds me one COS coat..
Echt FANTASTISCH!
Zou willen dat ik het kon :)
WOW! I also have that jacket, maybe I should give it a try?! Did you put the zipper all the way around the jacket?
This is way awesome!
Great job!
I have a jacket JUST like this that I am about to throw away, but this seems like such an awesome idea-- how did you do it???
I have to complement you for this terrific jacket - I have been craving a similar one for ages, not quite knowing how to get my hands on one, and this is a brilliant idea. So thank you:)
Great blog in general, check out mine too if you feel like it:)

it looks great, I have one question though. you dont really show the view from the back. did you sew it all the way around like burberry prorsum or only in the front?
thx,
Aina
Wauw, that is really cool! Looks very expensive :-)
Wahoou.The result is great !
You dont actually mean "the trash" do you? You wouldnt throw it in the garbage to sit in a landfill when others cant even afford a jacket from H&M, right? Hopefully you mean resell it or donate it. I really hope so.
However, I cannot say enough what a beautiful job you did with the DIY. I am always looking for things like this to do.
Good idea girl, i saw this jacket somewhere! Oh yeah a Snapshot... During a fashion Week. But it was a coat actually, a long one.

Ik ben gigantische fan van dit jasje! Ze hebben nu zo hetzelfde systeem van jasje in de Zara, waar de risten zijn in het goud, en dat vind ik zooo balen. Ik blijf hopen op een dag waar ik zo een jasje in een winkel tegen kom (:
Ben fan van je blog ook.

a happy new year! I love this DIY! I have to try it :)

God, what a great job !
I really need to learn how to sew... ^^

After reading some nice stuff in your article I really feel speechless, because it is quit pretty article. Beside this it is also a long lasting article. Thanks for giving me such type of useful information.. my site: www.jobjackets.com/
This is a great concept. How long did the zip have to be?
Your stitching abilities are certainly BETTER than my own.
