No Jacket Conversion for Lady Chrystel

**Ancienne Alliance** · 19th August 09, 02:42 AM

What happens when a certain Lady Chrystel wants her beloved husband to have an Argyle close to this one ?

Will she convert a simple grey woollen jacket and waist coat so that he can enjoy having it in a few hours ?

Nooooo… That would be to simple.

So I simply had to wait. And wait. She took some paper... her far out pistol shaped tailor's ruler…

…and she started to draw strange lines and cutting paper.

Finally , she was ready. En Garde !

More to come in a second !

Best,

Robert

So she began sewing and cutting…

The she kept adding strange multicoloured threads…

Now why exactly she went through all those steps will remain a complete mystery for most of us… including myself of course !

Hummmm… days passed. Lady Chrystel went on working, smiling patiently at my bewilderment.

Best,

Robert

Days went by and my dear spouse went on … sewing

Fitting…

Cutting…

It just went on and on !

Oh dear…

Yet stranger bits ad pieces that required infinite time were added here and there…

Then something looked like sleeve lining.

Wow ! This is starting to look like something familiar…

Then one morning, she put her lovely sewing kit aside

(thanks again Ern…)

And…

You, with your own personal tailor! I don't know whether to despise you or worship you!

Magnifique!

Best,
Rex.

Robert - that is truly a work not just of art but of love. You are blessed to have such a talent by your side.

Sir Fitzroy MacLean would be proud, what a wonderful jacket and waistcoat combination, I'm sure you will treasure this one forever. Absolutely timeless.
