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.

  2. Thanks Deb.
    I 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.

    1. He said there were a few fireman and nurses but no other fish boys!

      Shirts 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.

  9. 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.
    I can still remember his earlier pictures - He's becoming such an awesome young man (felling old myself ...).
