Thanks for the additional info, Kevin. Yep, your description of the "swoop" betwixt the low inside edge to the tip of the gantlet makes sence. What has me confused is your description of "The last 1.5" of the seam at the tips is open". Maybe I'm just getting old and having a time visualizing it in my minds eye.
Thanks again for the gauntlet pattern you sent me; now all I need to track down is some 550 cord that will match the charcoal/black in the herringbone tweed-or maybe skip the gautlets altogether and just keep the sleeves the way they are (single button on the outside seam).

I thought I had a handle on life-then one day the handle broke off!
Sadly, we must wait a good long time to wear them again. There isn't another formal event in Duluth for 6 or 8 months, and few of our relatives are unmarried.
Spring is coming in a few months. So I'm gonna have to make a good gentleman's tweed jacket (a kilt-cut version of the Orvis image below), use up some lovely 11 ounce Brown Weathered Douglas, and set about making some clay pigeons nervous.
Cheers,
Kevin.
