Tux with tails to Prince Charlie conversion

[turpin]

Robin,

Very cool! Something to print out and take with me to the tailor's. I think if I am going to add additional buttons to the back they will follow the seam and be in a straight line about and inch toward the outside and below of the top set (PJ jacket remember ).

Turpin,

There are three matching buttons (smaller sized) along the seam of each sleeve. You can barely see them in the picture from behind.

Cheers

I guess I was looking for them on the front of the sleeve.

Right. That's where they should be.

Right. That's where they should be.

On a Prince Charlie. This is something different.

Step two is to get this thing to the tailors.

Stay tuned.

I still need to have the tails chopped and epaulettes made (with a matching button on each).

Are adding epaulettes really worth the extra expense? I think the jacket looks good without epaulettes.

My formal jacket, formerly a USAF mess dress jacket, never had epaulettes and I think it looks good that way.
