Pocket Square

I've been looking for something in a maroon color for a while. On a recent thrift store visit

Alterations

A new friend from school had me take in a few shirts for him. Since he's a trim, athletic fellow, the reduction in the body of the shirts is a good step toward looking better. I haven't seen him wearing one yet, but he said he was pleased with the work.

Since the machine is out, I think I'll hem some pants that have been too long for far too long. I believe my wife needs to do the same for some of her own pants.

Absence

With a busy semester of studying, I haven't had much time to make things. I have made some A's, so my effort hasn't been worthless. What I have made I can't post for varying reasons. hopefully I'll get the sewing machine out soon, because I've got a few projects in mind--shirts to tailor, a bolt of light blue plaid madras itching to be made into bow ties for spring, nice tweed coats in need of leather buttons. One of these weekends I'll get around to some of this. I'll post then. In the mean time, back to studying for an intensive Hebrew winter term!

Flea Market Find

I made some purchases at a flea market a month or so ago. I got this small leather pouch for a dollar. It is a bit worn, but the inside is really soft. Not abad use of a dollar, if I may say so myself.

Good Shoes

Brand New Florsheim Wingtips!

Someone should buy these.

Dressing Frugally

Here are three items from past posts used together.

Six Fold Tie

Here's another piece I made a few months ago and haven't gotten around to posting. I made it from some thrifted cotton fabric I had lying around. The pictures are pretty bad, but I'm feeling really lazy.
