He showed us the mezzaluna tack. I kept trying to find it on the web by searching for "half crescent."<br /><br />Any more examples?

Sharp points and sharp edges show wear more quickly than blunt ones. I've been a sharpie for awhile but now I'm considering the blunt way since I want my suits to last. <br /><br />Blunt points would lend a softer look too if your cloth is really hard/tight/shiny such as Thomas Fisher's 8 oz. Cape Breeze wool/mohair blend.<br /><br />Cutting through the chest: seems scary but the advantages are enticing. <br /><br />Thx to Jeffery and Chris for the elaboration.Todd Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775830499834171189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233561143856860698.post-83987907346942280732010-05-31T08:06:05.269-04:002010-05-31T08:06:05.269-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5233561143856860698.post-86909031121402648812010-05-27T11:14:44.745-04:002010-05-27T11:14:44.745-04:00Other times to cut the breast pocket thru the canv...Other times to cut the breast pocket thru the canvass are on white or light colored jackets.

The subject lends itself to one of your famous bits of investigative tailor journalism - you can stress test different pockets made with mezzaluna, bar and no tacks and see if they perform any differently.dopeynoreply@blogger.com
