Last week I brought home a very special souvenir of Jack’s and my visit to Portland, Oregon: a vintage jacket with a mysterious past. It came from a lovely little shop, Living Threads Vintage. On Taylor Street opposite the Multnomah County central library. I was actually on my way to the Button Emporium. Made and in perfect.

Middot; by Paula DeGrand. Yesterday I sewed my buttons–the ones I bought recently at Taylors Buttons. In London–on my 1941 McCall “mannish jacket,”. Which I sewed according to Kenneth King’s “old school” method in his Smart Tailoring DVD set. The buttons probably date from the 1940s, as does the McCall pattern.

The last time I was in London, for the Savile Row t...

I was mistaken to think all peaked lapels look the same. They definitely don’t. I so wanted to stop thinking about fusing jacket front and under collar pattern pieces into one piece.
