Questions

Hi All

I have just come to Forum and really appreciate the collective knowledge there is here and thank Resa and Mowgli for all their commitment to tailoring.

I have some limited experience having starting sewing only a few years ago during covid and completed a couple of floating canvas constructed coats and trousers in wool. I am just about to move onto a linen suit using Resa's video series. I have ordered the linen from Baird McNutt as recommended by them: Milltown Plain Weave 228gsm 6.7oz/yd. I am planning to half line it with taped seams where visible. Now, the coats I have been making with to date have had canvas, horsehair, and domette. This seems definitely over kill for a summer suit. What should I do?

1. Full or Half Canvas?

2. Just a 210g Hymo Canvas like Giove with no horse hair or domette. I would guess that this would lack the structure of the horsehair but will that be ok as an end product

3. The 210g Giove Hymo and horse hair but tape the edges of the horsehair rather than the domette over

4. A much lighter weight canvas like 150gsm with the horsehair taped

5. Something else???

All comments welcome. If someone else has already made a linen suit I would appreciate photos of the interior if possible or links to useful websites as I cant find anything on my searches

Thanks

Ken
