Studying another saved piece of my tailor’s legacy; this set of nineteen-forties textbooks containing detailed drawings and instructions on how to build classic and derivative male sewing patterns from measurements.

Taking a few days out, treating myself to not one, but two shows by Norwegian formation Trail of Tears, the accomplished Black/Gothic Metal act that manages to prove itself more amazing each time I see them.

Searching the right textile for fabricating the smallest garment that has to fit the two most contradistinctive secondary outfits, to end up with a wholly new woven instead of matching the earlierly made items.

Shortly after the WGT I came across the ideal material for fabricating a coat I had long had in mind, a shiny black velour, adequately firm in body, yet flexible enough to (when cut generously) fall in continual godet; a perfect suitor provided there had been more of it than the 2.2 meters that was left on the roll.
Left unwilling to let this one pass by though, once the patterns were drawn, I started looking for a befitting fabric to supplement the velour in accent pieces, bringing in the sense of duality conform to secondary garments, which led me to an exquisite wool-cashmere to bequeath its own characteristics onto the coat.
