Party
Hugo is attending his childhood chum Airlee's 17th Birthday.
The theme is uniform.
Hugo thought he would put together a private college look.
So I made him a new shirt.
The pattern is VogueMEN V8096. Its the same shirt pattern I used to make this shirt.
Hugo chose some very nice stretch poplin in dark charcoal.
And we both liked the look of this silky Spotters Japanese lawn for the yoke.
My favourite detail of this shirt is the sleeve placket.
I love me a sleeve placket.
Something I know my fellow shirt maker friend will totally understand.
Paired with his Vogue trousers he looked proper smart.
A pose just for Deb.
Hi Guys!
Yes, I think he is awesome.
But not very 'uniformish' I hear you say?
Well check this out baby-baby.
I sewed a quick fish school crest onto an old boiled wool blazer of mine.
I just used felt. It was so easy and pretty effective if I do say so myself.
The fish hat was his idea.
A School of Fish......

I hope he has fun.

Ha! Hugo you are quite soFISHticated in your uniform outfit. Have fun at Airlee's party and I know you're going to dazzle the girls - 'cuz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man!
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb.
ReplyDeleteI hope he has fun. He borrowed a thermal singlet from me so that he would be warm enough to give away his blazer.
To a girl.
Of course.

Well who else would you give your blazer to? ;)
DeleteExactly!
DeleteLove it! He is a fab sport - hope he had a fun time :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd as always, iam in awe with your impeccable sewing
He did have a good time Justine, thank you. The fish hat got a few laughs.
DeleteYou are always so kind to me.

What a great idea for a party!
ReplyDelete*sigh* that shirt is sublime, I want to be as good as you at shirt sewing - lots more practice needed!
He said there were a few fireman and nurses but no other fish boys!
DeleteShirts are not so hard Katy, it is just the accuracy needed. Lots of pinning and careful trimming.
Its worth it though. All the shirts he likes are pretty pricey.
Thank you.

Hugo is a dag in the best possible way! Awesome "uniform".
ReplyDeleteThat he is!
DeleteThank you Jillian.

What a wonderful job: I love the shirt - the Japanese lawn gives it a very exquisite touch and all the details are impeccable as usual.
ReplyDeleteI can still remember his earlier pictures - He's becoming such an awesome young man (felling old myself ...).
It is a bitter sweet thing, our young men growing up Ana Sofia.
DeleteI am so lucky he still likes a nice shirt.
Thank you

The shirt is fabulous! I love Hugo's sense of humor..."school of fish" indeed!
ReplyDeleteHe insisted Cindy!
DeleteThank you.

Very handsome Hugo. Love me some good details too, that shirt is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Britters, sewing mens things is soooo dull, you need some pretties to keep it interesting.
