Forward Fitting

This is a photo from this afternoon's forward fitting of the tweed and tartan jackets.

It called a forward fitting because all the pieces are tried on before the jacket is assembled, and final cuttings (hem, vents, pockets, buttonholes, etc) take place. Its a pretty unattractive picture at this point, but in two weeks it will be completed.

    That is going to look nice when it is complete.

    Thank you. Its a color I am a bit leery of, but I like it more each time I see it.

    very cool!

    look at what my fiance just ordered from j crew. if you wear sweatshirts, you should definitely get this one. much cooler than a regular sweatshirt.

    While I like the sweatshirt/sweater somehow its just not really me. I prefer a longer shawl.

    If you ever really wanna have some fun ask a tailor to make a single breasted shawl collared sportcoat.
