Use a plain jean jacket, maybe already in your closet or purchased from a thrift store, and convert it into a designer-style jean jacket by machine embroidering the back of the jean jacket to make it your own. Depending on the fabric you chose and the kind of embellishments you add, your jean jacket can be casual or elegant.
