How to Stop a Jacket From Puffing Up in the Wind on a Motorcycle
Very few things exude such an aura of "cool" as a leather motorcycle belstaff panther jacket. Unfortunately, the cool factor disappears very quickly when the jacket is puffed up around you as you make your way down the interstate, causing you to look like a black marshmallow on wheels. There are a few things that can be done to prevent this from happening, but to really make the process work, you'll have to reevaluate your current motorcycle jacket.
Instructions
1. Zip your jacket up completely. An open zipper is like a large vent that allows air to enter directly into the jacket. Keeping the zipper up closes the vent and keeps air out.
2. Open the rear zipper vents on your belstaff coat. Trapped air will push against your jacket until it can find a way out. The rear vents will do just that, allowing the air to move as freely as possible.
3. Attach the tail of your jacket to your belt or pants. Most motorcycle jackets have belt loops or an eight-inch length of zipper sewn into the waistline. The "free" end of the zipper is meant to be sewn onto your favorite pair of riding pants. This enables an easy-to-remove connection that will keep your jacket tucked in against your back.
4. Check the sizing of your jacket. Motorcycle jackets are tailored to be form-fitting to make your body more aerodynamic. This means that an oversized belstaffsleather.com jacket, while comfortable, will create more drag and allow air into the jacket. Keeping any openings in the jacket to a minimum is the key ingredient to reducing wind puff.

How to Make Recycled Jackets
Instead of throwing out those old clothes piling up in your closet, use a simple belstaff leather jacket pattern to rework them into an environmentally friendly jacket. This project can be very easy to do if you're going for a simple jacket without a lining -- simply follow the pattern, cut your fabric to size and sew. If you're looking for a heavy coat with a lining, buttons or zippers, then the job will require a bit of extra work.
Instructions
1. Rummage through the closets in your home and separate clothes that don't fit or are damaged.
2. Decide what kind of belstaffssale mens jacket you'd like to make. Will it be lightweight, heavy, structured, patchwork or something else? If you have a lot of old denim, think of making a patchwork denim jacket.
3. Choose a jacket pattern that you like and that has all the features you're looking for like pockets, a hood, etc.
4. Separate the clothes you'll be using. Stick with the same type of fabric -- preferably thicker fabrics -- in the exact, or a similar, color.
5. Purchase matching thread and any accessories you want to incorporate, like buttons and a zipper.
6. Cut the pattern pieces out, paying special attention to cut along the correct line for your size. If you want to make a jacket that can fit over other heavy garments, go one size up.
7. Iron the clothes you're using to make them as flat and wrinkle-free as possible. Use the steam feature on your iron if you've got it.
8. Follow the jacket pattern directions to pin each section to a piece of fabric and cut it out. Avoid using pieces of fabric at or near the hemline. Don't worry if you don't have whole pieces of fabric big enough to cover each section of the pattern; you can sew smaller patches together for a stylish patchwork effect that will still work just fine.
9. Follow the guide on your belstaff jackets sale pattern to complete the sewing. If you're working with denim, avoid hand stitching -- it's quite difficult and tedious -- and just use your sewing machine for the entire project.
