At Scrapjacket, we want to do something about the upcoming trend of fast fashion and the negative consequences that come along with it. These are things such as environmental pollution, huge amount of waste, low wages and bad working circumstances. We want to do this by offering an alternative that is durable, affordable and fashionable.

With our service we give people the possibility to recycle their old jeans and turn them into a new, unique denim jacket. In this way every denim jacket is different and personal, because your jacket will be made out of your own jeans. To order a jacket customers can visit our site www.scrapjacket.com where they can select their desired jacket. After this they can fill in their sizes and customize several characteristics of their created jacket. The customer can choose the fit of the jacket, which is either baggy/loose, regular or slim-fit. The second choice is the length of the jacket and finally there is the possibility to customize the length of the sleeves. When this is completed the user will receive an email with further information such as the amount of jeans needed for their own jacket.

When this is completed our work starts. After the jeans arrive they will be laser-cut in the computer-generated patterns, for this we will use Lectra. When all of the parts are cut, they will be send to fashion students. These students possess the basic-knowledge needed to sew a jacket, are more affordable than normal tailors and get more study related experience while working.

Finally when the jackets are finished they can be sent back to our customers and the jeans can start living their second live.
