Thank you for this video! I’ve just gotten started with historical menswear, so far I’ve cut out the pattern pieces for a pair of 1890’s everyday trousers (not cut the fabric yet, that’s too scary). I find that the turn-of-the-century styles of menswear is more flattering for my body type and tends to fit me better, as I’m not built like how current menswear designers think people should be built.

Thank you for your message, I'm happy that you liked it! Most of what I make for myself is historical inspired also, I think they are just more interesting and creative designs. Best of luck for your trousers, sounds like a great idea :)

That's fantastic! Good for you :) Bespoke coats for the price of a sewing machine 👍

Title of your video.. my conclusion exactly. 👍 Thanks for posting!

I just found your site. I love your idea behind this project. If you can’t find what you like to wear…make it yourself. This coat is very classy looking. You look very nice in it.

Thank you so much! I usually like to aim for "well fitted simplicity". Which I personally don't find in stores :)

That coat really suits you. Did you draft the pattern?

Hello Chris, that coat looks great. Would you be interested in sharing/selling your pattern? It looks like we have similar body types and I would love to try to make a coat with those same proportions.

Nice! How did you learn your trade? And a bit of commentary in the video was nice too
