I live in Ohio and it looks like the make it with wool contests are only in Washington and Oregon.
Too bad, sounds interesting though...

It looks great so far!
I would have one suggestion as to fitting. Always wear the same shirt that you are going to be wearing with the finished garment. I noticed that in the muslin fitting you were wearing a long sleeved t-shirt and in the wool mock up, a rather loose shirt. This will make a dramatic difference in the fit of the final garment, especially in the arms eye. The higher up in your armpit that the jacket or doublet sleeve is (within comfortable reason), the better the fit. When you raise your arms the body of the doublet has a better chance to stay in place.

Well it's just getting pulled back off the shelf where it sat for a while due to Christmas travels and my brothers wedding in January.
I am working on fitting sleeves to the 2nd gen mockup.
