ARCHIVE COLLECTION -Office Slack Bombers

A cropped bomber jacket upcycled from two pairs of vintage JW Nordstrom 100% cotton dress slacks. This project was a small exercise in letting a very ordinary garment become something strange without losing its original language. The slack pockets, buttons, buttonholes, and soft beige cotton were kept and reorganized across the body, turning office wear into a roomy, structured bomber.
