Gentlemen, show us what you've made!
Nice wallets, Deusis, very clean work. Here's a just-completed spearpoint collar shirt. Light green cotton, used a '30s pattern. The collar and stand are from a '30s detachable collar that I adjusted to be attached (I've made several of the detachables, too). Mother of pearl buttons, all...- Nick D

Show us your Pipes
I just got this GBD Wellington. I've wanted one for years, got this for a steal on the 'Bay. It's the biggest pipe I own and that includes two gourd calabashes. It's not just the overall size, the tobacco chamber is very large. Shown with an average billiard for scale.- Nick D

Hi Matt, There's material to let out, though without opening the cuff up I can't say for certain it can be let down an inch.- Nick D

Gentlemen, show us what you've made!
Thanks, all. HBK, summers here are usually hot and relatively humid, but the last one was cooler and cloudier than the summers I spent in Leeds. Some days in the low 40s F! TT, this is the linen I used...- Nick D

Gentlemen, show us what you've made!
My latest large project, a dark blue linen suit. I started it at the beginning of summer, set it aside, worked on other things, and finally finished it. It'll be ready for next year, at least. '40s trouser pattern, repro '40s jacket pattern but self drafted sleeves and collar. Jacket is 6x2...- Nick D

Show Us Vintage GERMAN Suits
Does the button on the breast pocket actually close the pocket, or is it for show? A couple Romanians from the Acsinte archives have the button detail, but a pocket square is stuffed in the pocket so they were clearly only decorative on their jackets. -

The Vintage Tailoring Thread
Thanks. The fabric's not vintage but I've done work with vintage. I do my best, but Herringbonekid and Quirrel do some of the best. I use tracing paper, which is delicate. For things I use a lot I'll have a master copy and when the working copy gets worn I'll make a new tracing. More work... -
The Vintage Tailoring Thread
Welcome to the Lounge, and the rabbit hole. The drawing stitch is also known as a ladder stitch, used to join the top collar fabric to the lapel. This is not the complete method of making the collar, but the basic steps. It's very similar to Quirrel's post on page 4, though I apply the top...
