A major breakdown in the sleeve department has halted progress on the green jacket, as I have run out of fabric to cut new sleeves from. In the meantime, another jacket, more simple in it's design.
Inside breast pockets:
Patch outer pocket with button:

I wish I could be a tailor...this stuff looks so cool...
...Where did you get that hat, where did you get that tile? Isn't it a nobby one and just the proper style! I should like to have one just the same as that. Whereever I go they'd shout "hello, where did you get that hat?..."

this is some 1930s wool flannel suiting in about 18oz weight.
it came from the U.S. however, i can't conclude that it is American as many fabrics from the U.K. (and elsewhere) would have been imported at that time.
it is basically charcoal with a subtle blue windowpane:
although in some lights it looks blue-ish:
the next time you see it... it will be a suit.
Looking forward to it - it's a beautiful fabric!
And who's going to make that suit?

the suit is actually finished already... just giving you gents a bit of a lead in.
no, i've made around 12 jackets, and many other less tailored items.
the pattern is my own. i basically took a couple of (moth damaged) 30s jackets apart and used them as a starting point for the pattern.
