After I finished my coat, BH is hankering for a men's topper. I figure if I start now I might even have it done by next winter. I made him a faux suede coat several years ago from Burda 7142 - but would like to avoid raglan sleeves this time around - though they did make adjusting for an asymetrical sloped shoulder pretty easy.
The patterns that most closely approximate what he would like are vintage Vogue 7988 and Vogue 2613. I have done a couple searches and the ones I found are not his size (chest 40-42). Thought I would put the request out there to see if any one has secret sources or knows of similar patterns. Thanks!
