Wow, just wow! It looks *Great*, you did a fantastic job! Wear it with pride, 'cause YOU made it!

Dagnabit...great job. Looks just like mine! Alan's instructions must be the best if two self-professed newbies like us can turn out identical garments. I like the snaps...might consider that on my next one (my sixth...in khaki cotton twill like yours). And don't worry...you'll soon have that construction time cut in half.

Alan...did you note that he uses a framing square, too! Great minds, eh?

Nice job, and keep the iron handy.
