Made my first half belt...

[fishmeok]

This is a cloth version of an original 1947 halfbelt I have (posted pics a while back). I made a few changes to assemble this like a leather jacket- four piece arms, yoke seam, etc. This is a great design, lots of ways to tweak the basic pattern. This is only the second time I've made something in cloth, kind of a fun change.
Cheers

Did you notice the boy? He had his first haircut today...

I love that you hired a child model to "spruce up" the pics...

Lovely jacket!

Again I'm amazed!

Amazing Mark. This jacket is of a very good professional standard and better than a lot of wartime tailoring. The fit is spot on. Congratulations.

Great jacket Mark!

Looks like you've nailed the pattern. I especially like the collar.

Good work!

Nice work, Mark. That diagonal lower sleeve detail is so cool! You may end up having to quit your 'day job'.

 

[fishmeok]

Thanks- I'm pretty happy with it, not bad for a first try.
I wish I could quit my day job- I need to find a rich patron to support my work- like they used to have in the old days. Clark- you listening? Anyone who buys not one but TWO repop B-15C's just beacuse he thinks it's a good deal has more money than he knows what to do with...
Cheers
