/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>67543* If wide enough, a scarf can keep more than just your neck warm, being wrapped to protect the lower part of the face, too.

I'd like to add that the real benefit of scarfs is to close up the neckline of your jacket or coat, preventing wind from blowing in. That's what really keeps you warm, the insulation for your neck and face is just a fringe benefit.

Well, let me put it this way: To make a proper coat takes an entire day of dedicated work, if not more. If you're a raw beginner then you're probably going to take all month and up with an unwearable garment.

I can tell you how to make everything I've posted. I don't want to make a detailed guide for coats because it's going to be different for every coat depending on what sort of details you want to add to your coat; piped pockets, flap pockets, patch pockets, peak lapels, pick-stitched lapels, shawl collar...

Furthermore, making a tailored greatcoat just isn't the sort of project that's meant for someone that doesn't have a clue about making clothing in the first place. This thread is more for answering specific questions - how to properly set sleeves, how to properly finish a seam, etc.

The final issue is that it would simply take too long to ensure that my guide was complete, and did not misplace or omit any steps. By the time I was finished the thread would be long gone.

the other purpose of these images is to generate inspiration and discussion, and they've already successfully done so.
