First off: Great looking jacket Ted! Very well done.

Second: Heartily agree with Ted about reading up on jacket construction before starting. I didn't, and it took me twice as long to recover from mistakes that I would not have made if I knew what I was getting into. Also, use a flat surface to work on. I did mine on my lap in a small government-rate hotel room and...well....my lap bunched things up several times, making the jacket look rather ridiculous. Flat table would have solved that all together.
