The Vintage Tailoring Thread
I've been doing some major mending to a suit from 1946 that's needed it since last year. I should have done it over the summer so I could wear it now. Some interesting things I've found so far, photos will be forthcoming. I relined the waistcoat and took out the extensions at the sides... -

There's a 1930s McCalls sewing pattern that has a self-tipped tie. It's on the straight of the grain, too.- Nick D

The Vintage Tailoring Thread
I have a mid-50s Burtons that has this stitch, just a little bit further in than the bespoke ones but still hard to see unless you're looking for it. All my vintage bespoke British suits have it, one '30s American sportcoat doesn't. -

Thanks, Skyvue, but I've used up all that fabric and am unlikely to find any more, sadly. I really like the pattern.- Nick D

FS: Handmade tie and bow ties from vintage pattern
Bows A and B are sold. AntonAAK, there's no more space in your inbox.
