Little more progress!
I had a TON on my plate the last few months, slamming out projects for folks. But I finally got a few days to work on Deckard again.
I am hoping this will be the actual last mock up nailing down the last few details.
There is actually quite a bit of small things I am changing on this one compared to the last - again coming down to the collar (construction wise) and I will be doing a garment dye on this one as well.
I found a dye formula that looks *almost* dead on to the Pantone color we are shooting for.
If anyone has leads on dyers that don't require a min order of 500 yards, please let me know! I don't mind shelling out that cash for the project for the selective jackets we are doing. But I absolutely don't have space for that amount of materials in my small office.
Still trying to sort buttons, so that will be the last thing - but we have our sizes down. I will again hand stitch all the button holes on this one. My janome hd3000 that is my backup machine to my industrial juki does clean button holes, but the hand sewn ones have a more correct look and feel. Even if it takes about 8 hours to do them all, hah!
Anyhow, I am really thrilled with how cleanly this collar is coming out. The order of operations/shape/size I think I nailed on this. The rows of stitching really reduce the length of the collar, but I think I have the correct length accounted for the stitching to line up with the button facing on the placket.
It should also allow the flaps on the left side to fall in line with the breast pockets.
After watching the film again several times thanks to insufferable insomnia, and looking at as many screen caps and reference photos I can, I think this jacket will also achieve the correct ratio of collar to shoulder.
This is really evident in the final showdown where Deckard is hanging - you can see a lot of the shoulders past the collar.
There are some other changes made that I will go into once everything is completed and the final jackets are made.
I just need to add in the rows on the cuffs to add the lining.
