Chrystel made this black latex bomber several years ago for herself, and she decided she was going to spice it up with some Robertson tartan !
This it as it came out of the closet after many years/

Chrystel started to work on the sleeves.

Then the front:

The collar :

Buttons:

The garment now has a new life, with new red stiching ! Ready for our trip to Scotland in about a week time !

Best,

Robert

Robert, Lady Chrystel is truly a remarkable tailor, designer, seamstress. From your kilts and attire to her creations for women, she has a unique touch and inspiration which I think is exceptional. Please pass on my congratulations to her

Really nice!

Lady Crystal may be the best.

And if Robert's clothes are any indication, I don't think that warrants any further proof.

Very nice jacket.

That is an excellent refurbishment

OK,

The Jacket must be on Lady Crystal or do we have to wait for Pictures from Scotland???
Cool looking jacket.

Robert and Chrystel...superb job (as always). I've been watching this on FB for the past couple of weeks, but never saw the completed pics with sleeve ornamentation and the stitching. Question out of curiousity...just how did the stitching change from white to red? Did she dye it?

Outstanding. Interesting mix of styles and one really interesting(and unique) idea. I wish my skills were developed enough to do something similar. My wife saw it and absolutely loved it! She wants one!

Thank you all for your kind words !

The answer to the question is : Good ol' red permanent marker pen.

Robert-
Why don't you speak with MAtt about getting in touch with Dr. Geoffrey Scott Carroll to get the wonderful Lady Chrystel into "Dressed to Kilt" next year....Seems her work should now be on the catwalk!
