How to add LEDs to a track jacket

The project starts with finding the exact right jacket:

The jacket I picked is the adidas Originals Superstar Track Jacket. I wanted this one because it features the iconic trefoil logo and calls back to the 80's b-boy b-girl era. What we're really looking for is how the stripes are attached. The white stripes are sewn on top of the black base jacket using two parallel rows of stitches 8mm apart. This creates a fabric tube that we can insert our LEDs into.

The group looked great at the Neotropolis Bar in Los Angeles:
