Interesting men's pattern links!
Interesting men's pattern links!
I found these two patterns at sewing central:
The first is a man's gown - Zupan, a Polish male garment from the 17thC, basically a calf length dress belted at the waist and embellished check it out at http://www.sewingcentral.com/cgi-bin/We ... 4760_16515
The other is a coat worn with the above, a Kontusz, with hanging sleeves that slips the wrists into and is very full and gathered at the waist (at least that is what I 'gather' from the diagrams). The coat is a trifle higher than the gown, allowing a fringe of colour to show at the bottom all around, and also belted snugly at the waist. http://www.sewingcentral.com/cgi-bin/We ... 4760_16515

Hi SkirtChaser,
Thanks. We live in a sad and stress tormented era here in the West. The lack of self expression in garments, especially for males, is a symptom of a much larger deficiency of an emotional sort...an emptiness inside that gets expressed outward in blank monochrome assembly line men. We are afraid...

Guys,
Have a look at http://www.travelsmith.com -- the Men's section.
They make a lot more use of fabrics and color than the average retailer. I can see a lot of possibilities for combining some of their blazers with skirts and appropriate shirts of course. There are some very exciting items on their site!
