I've got two evening dress coats (i.e. tails) that are just soaking up moth balls in the attic. They seem to me to be prime candidates for conversion to Prince Charlie jackets: I couldn't do it myself, but I'm sure one of the local alterations tailors could if he had a pattern. I also have a morning suit coat that could be turned into an Argyll, again I'm sure a local tailor could do it with a pattern.

I think there was a thread about this some time ago, but I can't find it. Anyway, does anyone know of a source for patterns for converting these things into something more immediately useful to me?
