Men's Tailoring (or something like that)

Finally! I finished making JC's suits!























I started to make the jacket last spring.
This was my first time to try men's tailoring and I had only one book to rely on.
The progress was snail's pace but somehow completed the body and I was to attach the sleeves, then found that the basting threads at the shoulder line was lost...

I lost momentum and ditched the sleeveless jacket.
Then last month, I found the jacket during the cleaning (we do major house cleaning at the end of the year in Japan) and decided to finish.
Once I completed the jacket, I regained the momentum and finished making the trousers too.

The pattern is based on Vogue 2836 and I fixed it so that it would fit to JC's body and work with the book I had.
The book I used was Men's Wear from Bunka Fashion College.
I read all the men's tailoring books that I could get my hands on for this project, and found this book the most thorough and practical.

It wasn't easy and I'm not satisfied with the quality, but I'm really glad that I didn't give up.
Do I want to try again? I don't know...
