We're going with braid, so I'm removing all of the fringe and making new pockets with braid at the top.

I've basted on fringe and braid and let the project rest while I decide what to use for trim. So far I'm definitely liking the braid more than the fringe.

The jacket is finally to where I can pin on trim to try out different arrangements. I'm not sure if this will have fringe, braid, or both. Lining is only pinned on along the edges, as I'll need to hand sew the trim to the body before I finally attach the lining.
