Alborghetti Suit: Eyelets and Binding

I’ve got about half the eyelets in on the trunk hose waistband, and made some good progress on binding the edges of the doublet. The doublet edges had been kind of floppy and wavy, but (As expected) the binding has given them some great structure. I’m doing about a 1/2″ binding in cotton velveteen, which is larger than I usually do, but it’s intended as a visible design element. The visual difference between the wool and velveteen is quite striking. I had contemplated adding some extra stripes of velveteen aside from the edges, but the stuff I’m using would need to have its edges turned under, and the synthetic stuff that doesn’t fray looks different enough that I think it wouldn’t be advisable. I suppose I can always decide later.
