I made this jacket in a checked wool from Britex when I was teaching tailoring back in the '80's....and wish I still had it, it is a great pattern, a non-strict slouchy blazer (but not a blazer). Yours is great. I loved this shirt too....and did the pants in corduroy cut on the bias. This is one of the great classic patterns, think mine is long gone, but your version has withstood the test of time.<br />Kudos!<br />Marcymarcythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673088052041983577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-60689302824466152552013-08-14T12:35:02.624-07:002013-08-14T12:35:02.624-07:00I recognized that jacket from the thumbnail!

I made the pants too and I remember how I loved them but they didn't match the jacket at all, so no C. Montana suit at Hampton High. I still think Montana has put out some of the best designer Vogues. Cool designs, interesting and some are still wearable (not too dated).lsaspaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17058968076601943527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-75831169496379716572013-08-14T10:56:58.787-07:002013-08-14T10:56:58.787-07:00I think I have that pattern.

Periodically I take a look at them and ponder about keeping them. Just last week when I was thinking of Fall wardrobe, I pulled out a black wool one that is double breasted and I am contemplating, removing some buttons and wearing it as a 'boyfriend' jacket. Not sure I can pull it off, however. :)joan71https://www.blogger.com/profile/05138945462824127557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-70612975383211368862013-08-12T14:39:38.173-07:002013-08-12T14:39:38.173-07:00You and the jacket look wonderful.

In fact, she had made all 3 pieces: the jacket in wool tweed, the shirt in shot cotton, the pants in cotton twill.<br /><br />She had huge shoulders in relation to the rest of her (which was normal), so the jacket fit her very well without any special pattern fitting.<br /><br />I recently purchased the pattern from Lanetz and want to try it out.badmomgoodmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569728075698885020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-55844590844567584432013-08-12T11:43:24.687-07:002013-08-12T11:43:24.687-07:00Great, Jillian!

It was beyond my skills when I purchased it but so gorgeous, I bought it anyway. Thrilled to see how beautifully it fits you and what an incredible job you did on it. Hope DD isn't getting it anytime soon.moushka26https://www.blogger.com/profile/11939288957718544688noreply@blogger.com
