Making Frodo's Fellowship Outfit...
This is Sean's version. We still have a bit of debate
on every seam... but this is very close.

- A roll line for lapel
- B placement of waist pocket in slit on each side
- C side seam: note does not go all the way to bottom if you follow
conventional construction without a waist seam crossing the side into
the back.
- D Center Back vent, goes to waist level
- E roll line of collar. place 1/2 collar piece on fold (E1) to cut
out
- F placement of outer sleeve seam
- G side back (princess seam) note: some believe the waist seam (w)
continues across the side back and the back between the two side/back
straps, others believe that standard coat construction was used which
has the waist seam stop at the sides.
X's indicate placement of buttons for front, pocket, belt and sleeve

Pieces that go with the pattern labeled. |
How the pattern pieces go together
- A - Front
- B - Back
- C/D - Pocket front
- Detail:
- G - Fall-front facing
This is how the facing works on the drop-front panel, the panel is
wide open and attached to the front leg at the dark area, then it can
fold up and be buttoned in place. |
