    New Ghillie jerkin

    LOML finished my vest today and it looks very nice. Made from a very soft black wool (almost a cashmere wool) with silver buttons and trim. This is my casual wedding attire for the wedding in May.

    tailoring

    The garment was built like a suit coat with interrior coat canvas and sqatin lining. HArd to see inthis image but they are in there. It certainly gives the garment body.

    Very nice. It's a nice look, relaxed, but not too casual.

    Cheers,

    That looks very nice. May I hazard an opinion? I think the taches could be a bit more subdued. Perhaps a dark silver-grey or black stripe would be a bit more in keeping. Just a thought.

    That's pretty cool... your wedding? casual wedding or casual dress after the ceremony? The craftsmanship ship looks great.

    Wearing jerkins isn't my thing, but I think yours is quite handsome looking. Well done.

    I don't usually go for jerkins, but I like what you've done with this one, it looks great! I will, however, echo Rathdown's suggestion that the taches are a bit loud.

    Otherwise, well done!
