Thanks! The sewing machine started bunching up thread at the point that I finished it.That looks good work, Daniel :tup:.
I used a quilted fabric that I purchased at Joann's Fabrics. I believe that it is probably for quilting, but I liked the look of it and it has just enough heft that over the jacket, it softens the blows a little. I used a white cotton backing with a weave similar to what you'd find on a fencing jacket, but not as thick. I doubt that it would pass a punch test.I like it. What did you use?
