    Jacket design is the UL windbreaker from learnmyog, the trousers are knickerbockers called Cornelius from freesewing.org.

    Jacket is made from 3 component hardshell with 20000mm water resistance, the trousers are made from an old IKEA curtain :)

    Jacket also uses reflective garn on the decorative seams around the zipper and shoulders, adding some extra visibility. It’s a hazzle to sew with (rips all the time) but if you get it right it looks really nice.

        Turns out it’s an amazing fabric. Either hanf or linen, very good air circulation and cool on the skin on hot summer days, also pretty soft. I think I got 2 curtains with 2,4m x 1,4m for 15€ back then and already cut a pair of pleat-front trousers from the rest of it

      Thank you :) I’m pretty pleased with it. Only caveat is that the tape I used to seal the seams was the wrong one and won’t really stick to the fabric. But new one is already ordered and will hopefully do the trick.
