"i've got backhand like john mcenroe..."


front view of "norman brookes jacket". the jacket itself is a basic suit design with piping, but the clincher is the fabrication: two layers of mesh mounted on one another to form the self fabric. they were quite slippery and temperamental to work with, but all in all, i'm pleased with the results.












back view. had to slash the collar open, as it was a little tight.

















inside view of facings and linings

















up close of lining and facings

Oh jeez it's been waaaay too long--I need to put this sucka on RSS

Sporty to the x-tra x-treme! I am a tad confused on the inner view though--pocket slashes on top left where there is no pocket on the other side? And no pocket slashes on the bottoms?
The mesh works great with your style though, I feel like even your suits and formalwear tend to have an "active" feel to 'em, yknow?
