Hi Rory,
I see that fitting is a important part of the process, but how can I do that if I'm doing to coat for myself? Would you have any advice for that case?
Also, can I use a tailor's ham instead that big board for shaping the chest?
Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony, When I went to the states I had to fit my coats on myself. What you can do have someone photo you in the coat, post them here and I will give you suggestions on my to prefect the fit. Everyone can get involved and give their options too. Regards, Rory
Hi Rory
Is the coat shown in the photo a reflection of the drafting system you use? I note that this is a peak lapel, but aside from that cosmetic detail (i assume), is the overall silhouette the same? In other words will following your drafting guide provided with the video series for someone of similar proportions produce something like this coat or was this produced to a different drafting formula?
Kind regards
Jeremy
Hi Tony, That’s what this section of the forum is for. You have someone take photos of you in your coat and post them here. Our members will give their thoughts and I will post mine. So everyone can learn about fittings and alterations. Regards Rory
