How did you make them (please youse detailed photos if you can)I am the one that made functional pockets out of foam.
Well I don't think I have any photos of them being made anymore but it is a fairly simple design. You start out with getting a measurement for the front face. Make that piece 3 times as long. Now with that measurement for the front make a mark so it is divided into 3 equal sections. Do not cut them apart. Use a sharp razor blade to lightly go down the 3 sections so they fold easily. You don't want them to be weak and tear apart. Then slice the two pieces on the outside, leaving the main front piece alone, into two equal halves as well with the razor blade technique. This creates the folding you see in the picture below. Fold all the pieces as if they were laying flat on the jacket and use a flexible glue on the seams where you used the razor blade on them so they dont rip over time. Permanently super glue the bottom shut so the pocket doesn't have a hole going all the way through it. Then make a back piece and glue this assembly onto it. Make a thin line with super glue on the outer edges so the pocket isn't closed up too much. The last step would be to put the red material onto the face and attach it to the jacket. I hope that is a detailed enough description. If you have any questions feel free to ask.How did you make them (please youse detailed photos if you can)
Thank you so much! I had the same problem and your solution works!I figured it out. It turned out that all I had to do was convert the WAV files to MP3. And the speaker I have from the t shirt I bought is much louder than the stock sound chip speaker.

What type of foam did you use thanks for the detailed description it will really help.
So it's like a rainbow fabric that gets folds put in and then it's over dyed black?
The fabric liner is not printed... Its actually a crushed rainbow dyed fabric that was then dyed black... The only places you can see color are inside folds and wrinkles of fabric... Its amazing... The more it moves around the more color is exposed... I would have never know this or believed it unless i had seen it in person... I looked around everywhere and asked about having it made and most places just scratched their heads and said "we dont do that kind of work"
I saw a hat for sale with a fabric that looks close to the interior of the jacket. It said it was a vintage 80's hat, and looks close but maybe the strips of color are two wide. I would be happy if I could track down enough of this type of fabric to make a liner.

I bought some of that fabric on ebay. It doesn't shrink to hide the colors. It's close, but not what it should be. I'm not going to use it. It's called "Black Crinkle Polyester". I found some dyed rainbow fabric.
When I have some time, I'm going to try to recreate it. View attachment 759001
I also bought a hat a few years ago. It has stabilizer material to keep its shape. I thought if the fabric was separated from the stabilizer that it would shrink & hide the colors. I pulled a small section apart, & it stayed the same.Gotcha, good to know. I thought that maybe the material wasn't shrinking on the hat because it was stretched out, but glad there is proof.
