Corduroy Jacket Conversion Notes and Links

I did a lot of the sewing with the jacket hanging. I used a few coat hangers and other things to hold the jacket open. I could also walk around the jacket to get at different spots.

Beautiful job!

As I have often said before, patience can substitute a lot for skill and experience.

Thank you.

Before long I should have pictures of the whole daywear outfit including the waistcoat and Lewis hose. I have edited in to the first post, links to an album with the before and after pictures, as well as, an album where the progression from start to finnish of the outfit will be posted. I may remove the pictures displayed in the first post at some point in the future to make roome for other pictures in the gallery, but the album links and their pictures should still be there.

Thank you, kevinkinney, means a lot.
And thank you, James MacMillan. After all, this was all inspired by the MacMillan clan in your thread. Also, thank you for having a discription of the picture you posted incorperated into it's address.

Thank you, Alan. I used your web site, that I have a link to in the first post, quite a bit; especially in trying to understand the side vents of a kilt jacket.

Now that I've seen more conversions, I find myself ready to do another one and replace the tweedy jacket I have now that was the source of that page.. I hope my next one comes out as nicely as this!
