So, after the help of many of you, I finally can show you a coat that can be fitted. Or rather: Was fitted, by my wife and me, with Rory's video and some other stuff.
As you can see, the right sleeve is too short, I'll let it out 1".
The sleeve caps are too high for my liking, I'll never get that much fullness tucked in cleanly - I might alter that.
Apart from those issues: What do you think?
* pitch for the right sleeve is already lowered 1/4" This looked good yesterday and just before the pictures were taken. Now it looks as if I'd have to lower it another 1/4" - But that might be due to a little stressed posing too... I'll put it on a few times - later on and see if it changes or not.
Cheers, folks. Almost a year passed, in which I haven't been able to finish this coat ... yet! (New-born children and toddlers, combined with a pandemic, job and household do not mix well with time-consuming hobbies like these, especially not, if you should really stay focused on what you're doing!
As soon as my waitscoats are done, this coat will be "revived" again. Fun task: I've lost well over 10kg over the last year ... So I'll have to adjust it again 😥
I'll keep you posted!
