Tux jacket conversion

[Panache]

I look forward to seeing your progress.

I believe the Irish Style formal kilt jackets (the name escapes me at the moment) have similar collars.

While I don't mind the braided epaulettes, like Phil I favor the simpler matching fabric ones as being nicer looking.

Cheers

Yes, that's the Brian Boru. I can only find eensie teensie pictures of it, but I believe it has either slash pockets or no front pockets at all. And either no sleeve treatment or a simple slanting cuff with aligned buttons.

Who knows, in interests of time, what this one will look like on its first outing!

MoR, thanks for the reminder about waist shaping. This jacket has side panels (not just front/back pieces) so easier to take a bit in at several places. Again, we'll see what time allows.

No more progress until tonight, as I am "real working" today. Thanks all for the encouragement and suggestions!
