    Thank you a lot for this!
    I am a young dane, who wishes to become a tailor. I cannot get into the tailoring school yet, due to low supply, so I have decided to start from home. This will be my first time making an actual tailored waistcoat, and I am so increadibly happy to have this with me! I have made a few before, but none of them from scratch. Thank you good sir, you are a great inspiration!

    Thank you for taking me along on your waistcoat adventure. After watching this and your other videos, because of your exquisite use of precise vocabulary (of equal quality to your work), I dare believe I now have the proper instructions to construct a cassock out of a wonderful teal/tan/brown barleycorn wool I found a good price for on the internet that should be arriving soon with some orange lining. ( I watched this video with the idea to practice on a waistcoat first to get a sense of handling the fabrics). But without your kind and charitable efforts, I probably wouldn’t dare to even try. Thank you very much. May your coffee be always at the proper drinking temperature most suited to your liking. I am in USA and may get a metric ruler just to not complicate following along even further. Have a blessed day.

    Thanks so much for making this video! I have been constructing a waistcoat of my own during the last week following along your instructions here and it has turned out wonderfully! I am a tailors apprentice for womens wear, so a lot of your suggestions and tricks aren't being taught to me, sadly. As a result, I'm very glad to have your channel, as it gives me a small window into the world of men's tailoring. Thank you s much for sharing your experience and expertise and making it so accessible!

    Thank you very much for all your work, it helps me a lot when I'm working on bespoke clothing. I was wandering if there is any places in the internet or books we can learn how to put lapels on a waistcoat (there is something strange in the back neck I'm unable to understand only based on pictures), if you know anything that can help le I would love to hear it. Thank you very much.

    • @caffeinatedtailor
      @caffeinatedtailor  Před rokem +1

      Glad to hear.
      The usual way of putting lapels onto waistcoats is to lay it on. So you would make the shape you want the lapel to be and cut that out of new cloth. You put silecia on the back of it and fell stitch the top of the lapel and "collar" to the front of the waistcoat.
      I think we machine sew the lapel to the front edge through the silecia. We leave excess cloth on the other side of the front edge to fold along the edge to act as the facing.
      Like you say it can be difficult to describe in only words and pictures, but maybe I am filling in some of the blanks. I can't make a video on it anytime soon, though.
      Good luck

      P.s. I don't know anywhere else you'd be able to find resources, except *maybe* jojo remenys courses. We don't get on well, but it might be what you're looking for.
      Otherwise Maurice Sedwell might have more expensive, but thorough courses for what you're looking for.

    • @caffeinatedtailor
      @caffeinatedtailor  Před 5 měsíci +1

      If that was in the canvas (been a while) then it's to create some shape in the chest over the shoulder

      It shouldn't be too difficult to draft it in a similar way to jackets, just with bigger measurements obviously.

      I didn't expect to need it again. If I wanted to lengthen the lining it would leave scarring and ideally the length is already correct having done a fitting.
      I should say I'm trying to find a new waistcoat method that avoids hand stitching the armhole and neck line.
