Northmount Posted October 5, 2013 Report Posted October 5, 2013 Try a little talcum powder, or similar. Brush off the excess and should be able to see the holes you used for guide marks. Tailors used chalk for marking, there is also a sort of marking paper like carbon paper, at fabric stores, run over lines with a wheel like a stitch wheel. Tom Quote

Members ramrod Posted November 13, 2013 Members Report Posted November 13, 2013 i'm not sure how far along you've gotten with this project. but i have a suggestion for the collar. it's something i did to my joe rocket sonic jacket. the band collar is nice and it's used on man motorcycle jackets. however, i think they're rather non-functional when they are so flat by design. what i did was to open up a stitch on one end of the collar and (using a coat hanger) push a round neoprene foam tube up inside of the collar. it basically made the collar have a more round and dimensional look to it. i simply stitched the hole up afterward. you might want to think about doing something like this.

This sounds interesting. Do you have any pictures of what this collar looks like on your jacket? I would love to see it. Ride Safe! Quote
