DeaconKC said:Knocked out a prototype today fro a new razor/brush stand. Now I know what dimensions I will need and a couple other things. Also, the part I like about it is using old cracked razor handles for the horizontal pieces.
Marc Chevalier said:Nick, if you could make and mass produced a shirt with that exact collar design (but permanently attached to the shirt), I'd bet that you'd get a lot of orders for it. The one '20s-'30s menswear item that isn't being well produced by anybody (even the Japanese) is dress shirts with period-accurate long collars.
Would you consider taking up this challenge?

I've obviously been on a collar streak, still more I'd like to do. The first one is from the same pattern as the collar I posted before, but in better quality material.
And here's one modified from that pattern, inspired by a 30's collar posted on the FL a while back. 4" points. The points of both these collars are even, they're just sitting unevenly on the box I put them on.
To compare points
The three point collars I've made together. The prototype is on the right.
Finally, eight freshly laundered, starched, and ironed collars. Four vintage, four homemade.
Cheers,
Nick
Snookie said:I'm working on the 1934 EvaDress trousers, and ran into a snag - the inseam of the front is 1 1/2" shorter than the back! Anyone else run into this problem? I've triple checked the pattern so if it's my mistake I'm going to feel REALLY stupid. I sent an email to Alexandra of Evadress asking her about this, but wondered if anyone here could offer insight. When I match the notches it looks like 3/8" is missing from the hook in the crotch and the rest is missing from the hem. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your help!
