  Very well done, you did an excellent job, from my experience I know that to make men jacket takes a lot of time, custom made jacket is expensive, don’t know why stores give them so cheap. It looks very well done . Congratulation on your graduation.

  Well done!! Your handwork is excellent (I love handwork. I pad stitch things that don’t even need it.). Nice textiles. Your sleeve caps look good, and the sleeves hang properly on your arm. Be proud when you wear it!

    It was a great feeling to wear this suit, everything was selfmade, also shirt and tie. Waistcoat and pants are made of a 30 years old tweed I found in my mums closet, It was quiet difficult to find the matching fabric for the jacket. I wear it with proud! :-)

    thank you for your kind words! When you practice enough, handmade buttonholes are much nicer than those of a machine. I put a blue thread under the stiches to make it more vivid, unfortunatly you can’t see it on the photo.
    succes with your pattern making business!

  Sehr beeindruckend, die sicherlich grosse Arbeit hat sich jedenfalls gelohnt, das Jackett sieht sowas von perfekt aus! Bestimmt warst du bei der Zeremonie der bestangezogene Mann! Eine Frage habe ich: ich habe einmal einen Mantel mit Rosshaareinlage verstärkt, und er hält super die Form, aber die Rosshaare pieksen jetzt ständig durch, was das Tragen nicht so angenehm macht, und teilweise sieht man einzelne Haare nach einer Weile sogar herausragen. Ist das bei dir auch so? Oder was hast du gemacht, damit das nicht passiert?

    Tatsächlich, ich habe sehr viele Komplimente bekommen :-)
    Das Problem, das Du schilderst erkenne ich und lässt mich vermuten, dass der Oberstoff relatiev dünn und/oder locker gewebt ist.Mein Sacko ist aus einem sehr dichten Wollstoff wo das Rosshaar (so hoffe ich) nicht druchkommt. Du kannst die Kanten der Rosshaareinlage nach dem Zuschnitt mit Futterstreifen einfassen. Dafür benutzt du die Webkanten vom Futterstoff, ca. 2 cm breite Streifen mit Zickzack aufnähen. Als Alternatieve kann man auch ein dickes Wolltuch als Einlage verarbeiten, ist aber nicht so fest wie Rosshaar.
