I admire your ambition.

How did you make the patterns for the jackets?

Are you learning this completely by yourself or have you taken some class?

All by myself

Impressive.

 

[Sprezziamo]

Great stuff.

Do you have some sort of manual/book, online course, an experienced friend, ...? You can't really do trial-and-error with such a complex process, can you?

 

[TheTukker]

Very cool

What sort of pattern fitting method did you use?

Great stuff, wayspring. I hope you continue to share with us.

Peacoat is complete. I spent over 40+ hours over a month on this project. Everything is hand made and cut from the very beginning including shoulder pads. Its been a very rewarding experience. This jacket fits roughly 40S, with 19.75'' shoulder, since I'm 5'8 with a wide shoulder.

The usual standard suit fitting size with bit of my twist
