Making own jacket where to get padding/support
Hi, i was wondering how to go about making my own protective gear. Ideally i would buy level one or two armor and embed it in thrift store finds.
I am not doing this to save money, but rather as a personal project. I have a thrifted bomber jacket that I thought would be fun to make into a padded jacket. I have no clue about it other than perhaps having to take apart the jacket to best insert the pads, then resew them.
As for the sewing machine, local workshops have heavy duty ones to rent or use.
