    I wanted this one http://www.orvis.co.uk/store/product...subcat_id=5531
    but at £549 its out of my price range so I decided to make my own. I have a M&S waistcoat and I have used that for the measurements.
    Thanks
    Ian

    Ahh, that's not a waistcoat, that's a gilet. That's altogether different. In fact, if you call it a 'Jerkin' then it doesn't have any unfortunate connotations whatsoever.

    With the exception that it looks like the kind of thing worn by people who have mullet hairstyles, throw beer cans from trucks, and listen to Billy Ray Cyrus records, of course?

    I know the village, it is normal, why do you think I left?

    Well I've started making it. The stitching is being done by hand so it will take a while.

    That's far from truth, Larry the Cable Guy doesn't have a mullet!

    I have finished the back, I just need to stitch the decorative strips in that I have glued. Then I will start on the more difficult front with pockets.

    Thanks
