I bought some lovely Black Watch Tartan years ago when I was in the army to make myself a pair of trews. I didn't pay attention to the way the checks were and laid my patterns with a view to saving fabric. On that tartan there is a double stripe and then a single stripe which repeats in the warp direction. When I put my back and front legs together I realised my mistake and thus could not match the pattern. Sadly I did not have enough fabric to recut the back or the front legs. Expensive mistake.
Hi Reza, Thank you for this great explanation. If I understand your explanation correctly, would you suggest that the chest line be marked on the wrong side of the fabric for all pieces so that way the sleeves will always match the body and always be at the correct pitch? Sorry if this is already addressed in your other videos. I haven't gotten to them yet, but I definitely will.
The chest line should indeed be marked on the wrong side of the fabric and mark-stitched through all sides to use as a reference during fittings. The pitch of the sleeve depends on how it’s cut in relation to the armhole and not the chest line per se. Reza
He may not explain this. He wants us to figure things out ourselves. Matching stripes and checks is an advanced tailoring skill that is beyond his course focus for now. Checks are way more complex than stripes. I've only found introductory information on the internet that isn't helpful. I plan to use cheap striped and checked fabrics on smaller size pattern pieces; I will focus on the key parts of the garment - collar, lapel both sides, shoulders, sleeves, centre back, pockets w welts and flaps, etc. I hope this helps.
Hello Suneel. As Sandra mentioned, the focus of these lessons is to learn the basics of tailoring. Please do not assume that the "basics" are simple. There will be a lot of information in these lessons which has to be interpreted, internalised and sequenced correctly to fully understand the coatmaking process. I will however, explain how check and stripe facings are cut once we get to the cutting and assembly of facings. It's very simple to do and almost identical to cutting facings on a normal cloth. Stay tuned Reza

Is Taylor if the same as “haute couture” ?
Tailoring can be a part of Haute Couture. However Haute Couture is not the same as traditional mens tailoring.
