David Dalglish posted a photo step-by-step a while back (okay...a LONG while back and I'm not sure if it's still accessible) that was excellent. He used bias tape (?) to attach the rought edge up into the jacket body and then sewed the lining back...it was very cool.

Getting that arc just right is tricky...you have to look at other jackets and I think that you have to pin it and have a look at how it hangs on you. The matter of that last buttonhole is weird, too...if it's too close to the edge of the jacket when the arc is done, it just don't look right to me.

Let's see if we can find that old post...
