Cloth­ing is a huge prob­lem for the envi­ron­ment. From the pro­duc­tion of it to wear-it-once styles, there is a lot of waste that comes from the gar­ment indus­try. It’s why I’m a big fan of buy­ing qual­i­ty over quan­ti­ty. Cus­tom cloth­ing, par­tic­u­lar­ly cus­tom jack­ets, is a great exam­ple of this. Artists and illus­tra­tors take oth­er­wise ordi­nary den­im and leather jack­ets and embell­ish them with paint or oth­er mate­ri­als. In doing so, they trans­form the gar­ment into an heir­loom piece that you’ll hold onto for­ev­er and won’t end up dis­card­ed by the next season.

Here are some of my favorite cus­tom jack­ets I’ve seen late­ly. They are a pop­u­lar acces­so­ry for a wedding—nothing looks cool­er with a wed­ding dress than a jack­et! (I say that because I wore a faux leather jack­et with my dress!)
