Altering my First Drop.

So here is the plan. I bought First Drop last season, and was incredibly stoked on it... my love has faded. No-one wants to buy it and I can't just let it go to waste so here is the plan... I am planning to alter the pants and jacket, I have gotten not bad with the ol' sewing machine and I am going to see what I can come up with. Thinking I will try to narrow up the jacket and change up the shoulder a little, and try to make the pants a little narrower, maybe even tight in the knee. I know I will get hate so inb4 cool story bro. But I think this could be interesting. I will add pictures of my progress and see if I can't create something that I don't mind wearing again.

If it was any other kind of jacket, I'd suggest making a vest.

I rode in Switzerland this summer and it was warm so I was able to use the vest... it looks actually not bad then.
