I began a new project today based around jackets, suits, uniforms and protective clothing. It was up to us as designers to come up with a concept for our piece and I found myself drawn towards armour as a type of protective clothing.

Through my research I looked at suits of armour etc and towards more modern types such as military jackets and their stylings, epaulettes etc.

I think that I have managed to find lots of images which will be useful for my designs and have uploaded a few too. At the moment I am coming up with a few ideas to combine the use of metals and armour like styles combined with a more urban edge incorporating a belt/harness piece and fabric.
