I'm impressed as well with your vest. I too have been interested in finding a male suit form so that I can hone my skills for bespoke clothing. That form looks great, however, it might not be tall enough for my long torso and 6' 4" height. Also, I have odd measurements, 39" chest, 34-35" waist, and 40.5" hip. I'm an ectomorph. I'm considering making my own and am in the planning stages, but not sure how it will happen with so many things coming up. If it turns out well, I'll post an update here.
I've just ordered tartan for my first kilt, have a pattern for a Charlie jacket and vest as well. I'm hoping to at least have the kilt finished by the middle of March. I'm a little nervous about how that will turn out, but I've been sewing most of my 50 years and am hoping to "make it work"- in the words of Tim Gunn.
