Tux jacket conversion

[sydnie7]

Wow, is that hair canvas in the third pic? If it is, you found yourself a very well made jacket. Is the jacket material wool?

Yes, it's wool, and yes, that's hair canvas! Plus bias tape around the front edges, and some sort of black flannel-ish inner material that seems to come down out of the lapels. There are at least four different kinds of thread used in construction, too, and evidence of hand-finishing.

Got some more work done and am uploading photos, stay tuned.
