ooh, and i forgot to mention that i really dug the duct-taped jackets! how did those of you wearing them go about making them?

It wasn't really too hard. I found an old jacket in a thrift shop for $3 then bought 2 rolls of duct tape for $4...the cheap K-Mart Tartran stuff seems to work good because it's light and not too stiff. I started by taping the coat to my wall to get a flat surface for the back. I then cut long strips of tape and stuck them to the coat. When I finished the back, I took it off the wall and spread it out on the floor and started with the front. I basically just did everything that was flat and straight on the coat. Then I went to the sides which were awkward due to the collar and sleeve. After that, I went to the arm which was definitly the hardest part of the entire process. It took a bit of work to get them all on straight. I finished it up by patching the shoulders, underarm, collor, and anything else I missed.

I recommend a striped coat to duct-tape. Having something to line up with is incredibly nice.
