I don't know about the rest of your Gents, but I cannot wear all elastic suspenders. They don't hold my pants up. I have two pairs of Albert Thurston suspenders & I like that the back is elastic while the fronts are either boxcloth or wool felt.
Thanx again. What I am going to do to finish the zipper is sew teh cuff of the sleeves in place AFTER I sew the zipper in place. I can also sew some thread in by hand between two teeth near the end.
I am palnning on making myself an Ike jacket inthe next few days here & I think I have a pretty good idea on how to go about it. The only issue that I have is what the front of the jacket is supposed to look like in regards to how to cut the pieces of cloth to make the front halves. Any...
The zipper is going on a sleeve of a heavy jacket. It doesn't matter if it is hidden or not. There is going to be a piece of fabric behind the zipper that is only visable when the zipper is open.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to sew in a non separating zipper? The videos & tutorials I found online are less than helpful.
Thanx!!!
Charlie
