tweed argyll conversion started...

NICE job. Most of the conversions, including my own, seem to wind up too short. You have avoided this, and your sporran curve looks excellent. Most are too "sharp" and then too straight.

The braided epaulettes are the bomb. *well done*

My recommendation for length is go to the widest part of your hip... You might be able to trade off the pockets being moved against lengthening the sleeves if you buy a shorter fitting than you would normally... (S vs M, M vs L)

The curves were taken from my store bought argyll, and there's printable ones in my album

That is sharp. I had to go back and look at the epaulets after Alan mentioned them. Nice touch! One of these days I might try that myself. Never crossed my mind until now!

I looked at the pics three times before I noticed the four button cuffs vs three we usually see. I like details that look really sharp but don't jump out right away. Well done.
