The Men's Clothing Thus Far

How fortunate we are that menswear hasn't changed too awfully much. I could send an actor outside right now in a dress shirt, double-breasted vest, and an open jacket, and you'd think he's headed to a job interview. Although the top/bowler hat might be an odd touch. Whatever.

I'm also lucky that my drama department has menswear and hoards it like gold. Although I'm letting the guys handle their own dress pants situations. Pants are pants, especially from 20 feet away.

In the interest of not making you scroll through the blog for a year and a half, I'll put pics and details under the cut.

Jack's first outfit is also his main outfit. He gets a blue vest because he falls for Gwendolin, who wears blue. Symbolism. I still gotta find a jacket that fits him.

Jack's second outfit (also on this hanger) is his mourning, for when he announces "Earnest's" "death." He gets this pinstripe suit because it fits him best. He'll get a black shirt and this black vest and black pants too, never fear.

Dr. Chausible so far just has this lovely velvet jacket. It buttons so high you can't see a vest under it, and he needs a black shirt and Anglican clerical collar anyway. Also I'll make some sort of robe for when he shows up for the Christenings.

Algernon's first outfit will be fun! My henchman is taking on the project of adding a paisley satin to the back and putting sleeves on this vest to make an oversized house coat for our Algernon. He spends the entire first act wearing it, purely out of disrespect for his visitors. Incorrigible.

Algernon's second outfit.

*Sighs.*

Listen. I'm not saying that I wanted to make a suit from scratch. This is just the thing that our director wants, and our actor wants, and I'll live with, I guess.

We have this shiny gold suit with a pink pinstripe. Very very very very tacky. And also an incredible 'fit for a city guy to pull up to your country estate in. He does an incredible job of oozing debonair energy. It's just such a visibly polyester suit. Argh.

Good news though, someone coughed up a light pink bowtie. I recruited a man to tie it, and then I cut it off my actor's neck. I'll be extending the ends and adding velcro. And I put a safety pin through the knot so that it can't be undone.

I'll be making a brighter pink vest to really make this a fit worthy of love at first sight. Except for the polyester.

Merriman is a butler. He needs a black suitcoat over this grey houndstooth vest and this white shirt.

Lane only has his black vest so far because he wasn't at rehearsal. He also needs a black suitcoat. The hunt continues....

Merriman's Honolulu Restaurant

For dinner on the fourth day in Hawaii, we went to Merriman's Restaurant. With four people, we could eat a variety of things. The shrimp and octopus were especially delicious.It was a stylish and lively restaurant with background music playing.

having my first proper Feuilly Moment after skimming an old article on the labor movement in the period immediately after the july revolution.... did you guys know. skilled artisans and craftsmen who made fine goods (Like Fan Makers) were hit hardest by the post-revolution recession because of how many aristocrats were in exile & the sudden drop in tourism. and the dissatisfaction & unrest amongst said artisans and craftsmen was a Big part of the beginning of the formation of secret societies like the society of the rights of man which was the real-life revolutionary group leading the 1832 june rebellion. did you guys know that there is a constant line connecting real-life struggle for progress with that in les miserables. and that line spans past and future. before and after publication. did you guys know that the fan makers really died. did you know we really, really remember them.
