Interesting Findings

Ive created a resource detailing how to create the ISOT jackets across three budgets. Highlighting alternative supplies. - A Fit-Focused Muslin (budget) Use when the jacket is mainly for fit and pattern correction, not long-term wear. No specialty domette, beetled canvas, or premium threads. Substitutions everywhere except outer fabric. - A Wearable Muslin (Medium) - Wearable and fairly true to final garment without overspending. Keeps key structural elements (premium body canvas, edge tape, sleeve roll), substituting inside layers. - A Showcase Jacket (Premium) All original materials, no substitutions. ISOT Purple box begins to offer savings at the Medium level, with quite a big saving at the Premium level. (Bonus: For us Australians, I've included local pricing & suppliers + UK Supplier add-ons for the Premium version) Kindly, Rachael

I have discovered that traditional Burberry Trench-coats had a double accessible welt pockets, accessible both from outer(shell) and inner(where the lining is) part of the garment. Practial from a view of a millitary garment, because you can acces them even if the coat is buttoned.

Since im planning to sew such a traditional trench coat. Does anyone has any idea on how is this constructed, or experience with how is this done and put all together? I cant find any source for this.

I m also posting this in interesting findings since to me it is something new and i have never seen this in a common garment.

Hello everyone,

My name is Andreia Angst, and I am an enthusiast/student of tailoring/museology. Recently, I came across an antique object that I believe might be a tool used in tailoring, but I would like to confirm its function and gather more information about it.

It is made of wood and has several adjustable parts. Based on its appearance, I suspect it might be an anthropometric ruler or some kind of gauge used for measuring body dimensions.

I would be very grateful if someone could help me identify this object more accurately and, if possible, provide information about its historical use and significance in tailoring practice.

Thank you in advance for all contributions to my research.

I just found out about 'London Shrunk' cloth. This video is a nice slice of history:

Something that one can do at home, apparently (hopefully we can forgo the hydraulic press with an equivalent weight of 30 tonnes).
