thanks dr. jon.

not any more jackets. it was a pain in the ass, but i wanted to make at least one by hand so i know what goes into making one. after a pair of shorts, i'll probably make a couple more pairs of jeans. when it gets a little less warm, i got plans and the fabric for a super hoody. oh, and eventually i want to make a double breasted selvage denim trenchcoat, kinda like the one marc jacobs makes.

yo miz.. whered you get the fabric?

i got it straight from cone, you can get sample yardage from them. call their new york office for details.

Nice job Miz!

You can also get some awesome fabric from Arvind Mills. They seem to be willing to work with the smaller buyers.

[Mr Calvin Oscar]

Nice jacket, I kinda wanna make one now

[digital_denim]

Anyone have pics of denim selvage that's hasn't been cut? Just interested in seeing it.

[Serge d Nimes]

Mizanation,

Great work! You should but some phenolic or plastic buttons on that thing.

[mizanation]

^^^ you think? i thought you would be a fan of metal....

[Thorns]

Wow Miz jacket looks sweet! So just wondering... where'd you get the crazy idea to make a denim jacket? J/K I gotta finish mine up and get some pics up here. Seriously dude though nicely done.

[mizanation]

^^^ cool, post pics when you can. also, could you post your other stuff?

i wanted to make a dry denim jacket cuz it's hard to find a jean jacket without distressing and with interesting stitching. also, my original goal in starting to sew was to make a double-breasted denim trench coat. everything is kind of a study in respect to that.

[Thorns]

I'm definately gonna start collecting pics of all the stuff I've made. My original goal in sewing is actually to be able to make myself a three piece suit from scratch. I'm still working towards it, I'm not quite good enough yet.

[mizanation]

a suit is definitely the ultimate in sewing. i'm definitely not close to being able to do it.

i did get this book though which explains a lot about tailoring techniques. there is so much that goes into making a suit it's crazy:

i figure if after the trench coat, i will start making some tailored shirts. after a few of those, i might be able to make my first suit.
