I don't think I've ever posted anything I've made alone from start to finish, so here's something. Here's something I'm working on: a 3/4 length smoking jacket/robe in linen. Fit pic is still mostly basted and nothing has been pressed or ironed yet, so please excuse the wrinkles. Will still be tweaking the fit a bit (edit: then adding sleeves and pockets). Comments & Criticism welcome.

This is awesome, nice work!!!

Out in the field. Is NWOT Morlands lambskin sherling worth paying up for? Not for flipping (maybe a trade), but my size...so basically asking, is it quality?

English made shearling for personal use? Sure why not, as long as it's not costing you an arm and a leg.

Could just be the angle but the "O" in Louis should be sitting a little closer to the "L" almost sitting in it. Do you have anymore pictures? Serial number perhaps?
I could also be wrong but I'm pretty sure the LV uses a heat stamp and that doesn't look heat stamped. But I could be wrong. Maybey try authentication thread as well

Thank you @kbadgley84. Too suspect to take.

Tried out a dry cleaner in my new neighborhood and **** if they didn't press the **** out of a blazer I took in even though I asked them not to. Is there any way to get rid of dry cleaner sheen?

Not that I've ever found. It's literally searing to the fibers that alters them physically. And I haven't found anything that reverses that.

Anyone know a good way to clean a fleece lining of a leather jacket?

I took it back and told him to fix it. Good thing is was more of a test jacket than anything, so no big loss. Still, I wish people would listen when I ask for something specific. Time to try another I guess.
