My wedding doublet's tailoring progress. The tweed wool is bought from "From The Mills", a textiles family business born in Yorkshire. It is a quality wool ideal for suits! An entire weekend of pad stitching and assembling is my idea of a good time!

July 2023 A late Victorian single-breasted waistcoat drafted from R.I Davis's "Men's Garments 1830-1900" 2nd edition. Made from woven brocade and satin, the higher button breaking point allows for the illusion of a square shoulder frame, and actually makes your body upkeep a good posture!
