You are a brave woman to add all of these details to corduroy...and it looks wonderful. Oh, a secret and zip pocket, and bound buttonholes! Such a nice shape for your figure but I never found the photo of the final modeling.

This retro look is fabulous on you! I love all of the details. I am intrigued by your Golden Ratio Technique for determining length. Thanks for the hint.

I just love all the careful details about this jacket. The flaps, the pockets, the bound buttonholes... I love how they enhance the whole look

Your jacket is *so* inspiring! It's gorgeous and it fits you divinely. I am delighted to see all of the details and hidden pockets. If I were in your vicinity, I would try to steal the garment away from you. Guard it carefully!

Have you made a matching skirt, hat for this jacket? Just wondering.

I was working on a matching skirt, but got sidetracked making a boy version for my husband. Also, it's a little bit too much blue cord to wear them together, which is fine, I'll wear it with other stuff...

super cute jacket! I love the pockets. I think bound buttonholes on corduroy are amazing. I love vintage patterns too!
