Here at Levi’s®, we love our old-school band tees — whether they’re hand-me-downs or a product of a great thrifting haul. One of our favorite ways to wear them is on the back of a Trucker Jacket. In this simple DIY, we teach you how to transform the back panel of your denim jacket by fusing it with a graphic tee.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

  • Trucker Jacket
  • T-shirt

STEP 4

Chalk a 1/2 inch buffer to allow room to fold and sew. Fold the edges of your T-shirt underneath and pin them to your Trucker Jacket. Repeat this step on all sides of your T-shirt.

STEP 5

Sew your tee to your Trucker with a basic running stitch. Remember to keep stitches small and even.
