That is some pad stitching O_o if you were a tailor by trade, you really wouldnt make any money…that would take you half a day!! And then there the chest, lapels….oh dear…2 days work :P
almost too bad that this is not what is seen in suits, the foundation, the construction. it is where the true beauty is. i had a garment construction course and the professor demanded that a garment should look beautiful on the inside as well.

Right!
My teacher insisted in 1/4 inch stitches
Thats why I’m a photographer now.
I must admit that after all this time that undercollar still rolls perfectly.

mr. sartorialist, i was wondering if you could recommend a book and/or source for patterns for the construction of suit jackets?

We had a book but I don’t ever remember using it, we learned everything from our great teacher, Mrs. Karla Kunoff
