Well thank you, Alan! Good luck.

I added a paragraph to the first post on the history of the jacket and it's construction. It is a little over thirty years old. A pretty good old jacket, and since it was a tad bit too small and the original trousers for the suit are missing, this was a very good way to bring it back to life.

Btw, good quality corduroy takes on character as it ages.

I'm in the middle of making a few sculptures, but as soon as I am able, I will start on a second jacket conversion. The jacket is a very dark brown and has a matching waistcoat. I think it will be done in the same way as the corduroy jacket, but it will only have one button. It's not really as nice of a jacket as the corduroy, kind of bland, but it will be all right. That will be for the same kilt and accessories.
