While we are talking about jacket collars, here are a few of the main collar variations for next time you are admiring a jacket, you too can talk about its peaked lapels, high notches, or lovely Roll collar.
Jacket Terminology:
Since completing my tailored jacket, I have become slightly obsessed with jackets in all shapes and sizes and can't stop analysing every jacket I see; fit, type of collar, width of lapels, height of notches and depth of break points are all coming under scrutiny. Just incase I am speaking a language that you don't understand heres a little help to know your notches from your lapels.

Oh wow, these are really cool, thanks for sharing! What software do you use to draw your images with? Is it pattern making software?
ReplyDeleteHello! thank you, I use Adobe Illustrator, but any vector based/cad program will do! There are some free ones around. You can also use excel to do this type of drawing too, its just a little bit frustrating and slower. :)
DeleteThanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI'm a TD at a woman's suit company. We call double welt pockets "besom" pockets. I confess, I have no idea why.
ReplyDeleteHi there Grace, wow I haven't heard of that term before! What nation are your from? I'd love to know more about Jacket construction in a production environment, if you are able to share any information? The companies I have worked for didn't do very many suits, only really simple over coats and I never got to really learn any production standards/techniques and would love to! ( totally understand if you can't share information, though )
DeleteThanks so much for the diagrams - printing them right now!
