Cropped Hoodie from Recycled Materials

15th October 2017

 

Some ideas for making a cropped hoodie using recycled materials. Ideally it also has the water-proof quality. The fabric can be natural in colour and texture as my drawing will be printed on top. The material I have in mind, as least for the inner layer, takes inspiration from Crumpled City Maps, 100% waterproof, super light and soft, hard to tear and can be easily reshaped.
