Description

this is a “try out” to see, if my account can take a new project, after all the technical problems.

i created this outfit (waistcoat and trousers) in a lightweighted soft wool material and added a little silk for the lining and the back of the waistcoat. the pipings for the pockets on my waistcoat are made of artificial leather. with the same material and a few bits and pieces of an old bag, i also created a “weekender” bag, which i will present to you in a seperat project.

Material Notes

100 % fine wool, silk, vintage buttons, artificial leather, zip and maching thread

Intermediate

    I love this! You look very English in this outfit (Hope that was what you were going for!). I love the matching bag – I think that is such a neat idea and one I will try next winter = a coat and matching bag! I hope you wore this out many times as it deserves to be shown off to the world! You have great taste and an inspiring sense of style – good job!

    Was just perusing through people’s studios for eye candy and saw your ensemble. “Two thumbs up way up, Ralf”. You look great.

    Du solltest überlegen, dir als Accesoir noch einen Rauhaardackel zu zulegen, sähe bestimmt super aus ;O) Dein Outfit ist dir wirklich gut gelungen und super ist auch die passende Tasche. Hast du vor, deine Outfit mal in London probe zu tragen? Soo sehr würdest du garnicht auffallen und jeder würde dich als waschechter Engländer anerkennen…

    Yeay! I love both pieces! I have actually ordered a vintage pattern on Etsy that looks exactly like your ensemble for my man! And your project gave him a good hip example!

      liebe apfelbluete! schön, dass es dir so gut gefällt. auch ich bin ganz der meinung, dass die schuhe überhaupt nicht passen und war (man findet sonst ja keine entschuldigung dafür :-) schuhe kaufen.

      die neuen passen wirklich besser (eine elegante, einfache stifelette in braunem wildleder)

      thank you momosewsew! the sneakers have been only a “less-than-ideal-solution” at first, as i did not had any maching winter-shoes (YET!) but i quite like it now too, the way it fits together :-)
