Welcome to my Blog.
I will be posting pictures of things that interest me, Photos (Light), Men's Clothing, and tailoring (Cloth) and Motorcycles (Internal Combustion), as well as anything else that strikes my fancy.

I am currently working on a winter coat project, and will post picture of my progress.
I saw this coat on the Denham's site, after visiting their store in Amsterdam.



It was in their 2010 collection, but was a limited run and is no longer available.
Have made myself some clothing in the past, I thought to myself, I can make that!  Well we will see. It is made from re-purposed military surplus, ponchos for the outer, wool blankets for the insulation, and Japanese selvage denim for the lining.

I needed a pattern to work from, as I am not talented enough to draft my own, YET! So I found a book of Men's coat patterns from Japan by Ryuichiro Shimzaki.

I used one of the patterns to sew up a muslin coat to work on the fitting. I'll post pictures of my progress soon.
