I purchased this wool version of the Rick Owens scuba hood style jacket on sale, I loved it otherwise but had a problem with the hood. it was quite tight and heavily lined, so it made the collar super tight plus it barely fit on my giant head. figured that I'll either return it or modify it a bit. decided to go with the latter one, and I got rid of the hood. I'm sure someone will think of this as blasphemy, but its perfect for me now. I've been looking for a jacket with an assymetrical zipper or some sort of a fencing style cut, but most are either hard to find, too expensive or not good in other ways, so I'm very happy with how this came out.
I basically took apart the entire hood and collar, then made a new lining piece to replace the thick wool and pieced it all together by hand. took 3 evenings, but at least it looks nice
this is what it looked like:
