I'm Still Alive! tailored suit edition

Description

This semester has been pretty tough lately with some pretty tight deadlines so I haven't had much time to make many personal projects. 
This is a 6 panel men's suit jacket I made for my studio III class in which we used the fusible method after doing a half scale traditional method jacket. I still need to add the contrast (tan) on the upper collar and fix the lining at the center back vent and sleeve when I get is back from grading, but i'm pretty pleased with how it came out. I hope to make a pocket square for it using the fabric I used for the pocketing that has a blue sailboat on white print. I did the math and there are about 75 pieces of fabric, interfacings, and stabilizers (and a TON of patterns) that went into this project which might be the most pieces i've worked with so far! Those single welt pockets were killer though since I haven't done them a lot yet. I also learned how to make custom shoulder pads which was pretty cool. I hope to make myself a sharp well fitted suit soon using my new knowledge!
