Thanks M/M. Today's garb was more in line with what Simon's working on over in tailoring - 30's sport suit with pleated pockets with scalloped flaps, pleated vest front, belted back, and FAKE flaps on the vest pockets. Why they are fake, I have no idea. But someone checked every box when they made this suit. I joke it's the brown suit that birthed the whole 70's.

Wow, that suit is awesome Patrick!

Both VERY nice, but the lapels on the blue one have it for me...

Actually, I agree. I like the brown suit a lot. But the teal one is my current fave.

Here I am today in a 19th Century Triple Pleat Blouse by Well-Co, an LVC T-shirt, and a pair of Blue Blanket IJJ Jeans



The jeans are designed by Brit Eaton, probably the most knowledgeable guy on the planet, when it comes to Jeans. Thanks to a pair of Wabash Braces (Suspenders) from Hollows, they sit perfectly on my natural waist. Not "Simon Cowell" round my nipples. Just nice....

And the jacket - straighter cut sleeve seams, giving a drop shoulder, and sewn on metal buttons in true 19th Century vintage style - has a back measurement of just under 23".

I'm 5' 10".  And some folks feel that height needs a LONG jacket.

Tell me honestly. Does the jacket look short to you?

Jacket looks spot-on for length to me. We're the same height, and that's just about exactly where I'd wear a jacket like that, if not even an inch shorter.



Simon - that cap looks great, and you're not wrong aboutg how well it goes with the gang bandana. Looking forward to getting mine on me bonce....

How many washes have you put those Big Bs through? Some interesting fading patterns happening there...

[SJC]

Yes, like everything i make, I absolutely hammer them, I do everything to them I shouldn't do, ie what the public will do to them, just to see what happens to them.  The latest punishment was, after our chats in here, washing them as worn (not turned inside out) on a 60 deg wash, with two spin cycles.  They cried.  A lot.  Hard.  But survived. Hehehehe

[Edward]

I did something similar to a pair of cheap jeans (HM Prison, bought from a surplus store last December) recently; the lightning effect looked pretty cool, I thought, though I would generally always turn mine insie out. I think I forgot just that one time...

Spin cycle strikes again

Taking a break from the kitchen and I've just realised I've combined the apron and the silk neckerchief:
