MODULE 1 • Jacket Facing, Canvas, Felt & Shoulder Reinforcement
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1A | So, now we get to what goes inside the jacket, so we begin with the exterior most part, which is our front facing. Our front facing starts about 1 ¼” (3.2cm) from our neckline. So, it’s 1 ¼” (3.2cm) here, it’s marked in red, and goes all the way down to the hem. |
| 1B | At the waist there is an inundation of 4” (10.2cm), so that is where we get a reference point here. |
| 1C | At the hip line we go in about 3” (7.6cm). Now these are all suggested measurements. Based on design and preference, they do change. But this is what a classic jacket follows. |
