Nancy Anne said... What wonderful detailing! This is such a versatile jacket you can wear with a myriad of things- Great work on a wonderful piece! 4/1/08 8:48 AM
lilyofthevalley said... Sharp, crisp military jacket and your use of nubuck was inspired; it really takes the look to a new level. Perfect topstitching, which is always a one-try-only challenge in leathers and nubuck. Your bound buttonholes and chain are couture worthy. Extraordinary! -Lily 4/1/08 12:24 PM
fuzzygalore said... Chains are great - in Chanel's signature fabric, loosely woven and very lightweight, drapey. But they're there because they have a function, to add a bit of weight to hold the back in place. In upholstery fabric, they'd be purely ornemental, if not fighting the structure entirely. But whatever pleases you ;-). I have to admit that I'm not given to military looks on principle, but you make it looks sooo good it's tempting! 4/2/08 1:58 AM
