Suit you sir!

I've had this book in my "projects" pile for ages, I've now moved it to the front and have enlisted the aid of accomplished seamstress Catie. It is time to realise a long cherished desire and make myself a Frock Coat...it'll go with the Dr Who scarves we're knitting! Having passed the half century (and with no shortage of real problems to worry about) I find that my inhibitions about who I am and what I look like have moved beyond the minimal concern I used to have about what the rest of the world thought and into the "Get over it!" territory of being surprisingly at peace with myself - so frock coat and top hat here I come....
