Here's a 'jeans' belt I made by using a blank available off the net, I bought the belt originally from a charity shop mainly for the English made solid brass buckle, the belt on it was knackered and too short, so I used it as a blank and came up with this;

Here it is. It was described as a 1940s jacket. Seems like a regular jacket with a belt slapped on.
A bit different than yours but the same principle.

ah, definitely wasn't inspired by that one. ;)
it looks like a home made modification. the main inspiration for mine came from a vintage French shop jacket belt which is attached at the side seams and buttons in the middle (although the buttons don't actually function, they're just sewn on). i decided to do a buckle rather than buttons. it was only afterwards that i realised it looked like a waistcoat cinch.

Lookin good so far! Cant wait to see it finished. Looks like a one piece 8 panel, I made one 8 paneled before, I found that the sweatband was the tricky part.

The leather sweat did give me a little trouble last time, but I was able to get it on. Just had to sew carefully and slowly.

I think flat-caps are pretty snazzy things. Are they difficult to make? I've been thinking of making one for myself, once I find some suitable material. I'm gradually getting the hang of using my gran's Singer and I'd like to start doing some simple projects on it.
