I'm working (early days and slowly) on a from-scratch daywear blue tweed jacket and vest for Bob. Much inspiration has come from Tim's beautiful set, shown in his thread.

I'm waffling between the "flattened ridges" that Tim used on cuffs, pocket flaps, and epaulettes vs. the seemingly more popular raised ridges -- see the image "cuff detail of charcoal grey jacket" at this Scotweb link.

The Scotweb photo shows the ridges going up past the button; I have other photos that clearly show the ridges stopping at the button.

Opinions? Other options? Historical notes?

Thank you for your input! And yes, there will be lots of pictures of the process and final product, once it's finished to my satisfaction.
