Waistcoat pattern

I don't know how Schultz plans to go about it, but I never stick to my patterns since yes, they can come out amatureish. I can't remember the last time I followed a pattern verbatim, but I've gotten pretty good at modifying and tailoring to make things work right. The Montrose doublet I'm making from a modified Civil War general's jacket pattern is going to be the ultimate test of my pattern-altering abilities.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I think I will stick with the Simplicity pattern as I know they have it up at the fabric store a stone's throw from my apartment. I am usually one to stick to patterns, but my wife encourages me to step out of the box a bit and I have added my own ideas to things in the past. The fact that my best friend is a professional tailor who is always open to my questions helps, as well.

Thanks again...now I just have to finish the box pleated MacDougall and THEN start and finish the X Marks before I can even think of making anything else. She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed has so ordered.
