Taichi Yagami - Jacket from Digimon Adventure Tri
Having never made a jacket before, I needed to use a pattern. seemed to be a close match design wise.
I've used Burda patterns a couple times before and knew they can be challenging to figure out at times. This was no different. There were several challenge steps where it was hard to interpret the intention of the intructions. A couple "leaps of faith" that everything will come out right are required!
I added a welt pocket to match the design of Tai's jacket.
The odd thing with this pattern is the liner only goes about halfway down the jacket, resulting in the inside having a fairly unfinished look. I followed the directions as closely, but still see some room for improvement. I'll probably go back and finish many of the edges with the serger. I also would like to replace the liner with one that extends the length of the jacket.

Taichi Yagami - Shirt from Digimon Adventure Tri
I made Taichi's Jacket based on the promotional images before the first episodes were released. Once the first episodes came out, I knew my next cosplay would be Tai's casual outfit from episodes 3 & 4.
Daisuke Motomiya - Jacket from Digimon Adventure 02
So Bandai released the official version of Taichi's Googles from Digimon Adventure 01 and I had to have them. I've done Tai's outfit from 01 as well as the school jacket and orange shirt from Tri. Of course, at the start of Adventure 02, Tai gives his googles to Daisuke after his are broken. Since I already had the googles, that means my next outfit needed to be Daisuke/Davis from Adventure 02!
