I mentioned in a previous post that the standout characteristic of this late '70s - early '80s Roebucks-type jacket is the simplification of its construction, such as the fake front "pleats" that serve no functional purpose other than design. Another example of this simplification is the way the sleeves are attached to the shoulders. On most denim jackets there would be a double row of top stitching to reinforce the seam, but that is missing on this jacket.

Some close-up shots of the cuffs on the late '70s - early '80s Sears Roebucks-type denim jacket I finished recently.
The lighter denim jacket is the original Roebucks jacket, the darker denim one is my self-made jacket.
The finish of the cuffs is extremely bulky, as you can see in the third photo - 15 layers of denim!
There are plenty of other, far less bulky, ways of finishing the cuffs, but in this case I wanted to use the same method as on the original jacket.

I finally had some time to finish the late '70s - early '80s Sears Roebucks-type denim jacket I started making about a month ago.
The 3rd photo shows the finished jacket next to an original Roebucks jacket.
It's not an exact copy in terms of materials, size, shape and fit, but the construction is exactly the same in both jackets. I'll show some examples in subsequent posts.

Some details on the 1870s-type denim "blouse" I finished a few days ago. As serging was not yet available in those days, most of the seams are left unfinished.

I finally had a bit of time for sewing. An 1870s-type denim jacket, or "blouse", as this type of garment was called in those days. The pattern and construction are very different from denim jackets made in later periods.

So genuinely wondering about this 👖 look for a few reasons (sorry for poor pic quality and my lack of makeup). I posted a version of this on reddit and it wasn’t very helpful so wondering if #pixelfed can help!

Distressed denim jeans with fitted long sleeve top and white sneakers. Then same with a denim jacket. Trying for an every day casual look.

All denim. Your thoughts?

Some specific questions:

- Belt with jeans? Yay or Nay?
- Distressed denim. This seemed cool but is this an outdated style right now?
- Length of jeans, they are too short for my fit, almost feel like capris. I could wear with knee high boots though.
- denim jacket with denim pants? Am i crazy?
- jacket open or buttoned up? I really had to squeeze into it 😅

The raw iron buttons and buckle on this self-made 1910s-type jacket are showing some nice rust!
