The Perfect Jacket

12/2/2021

'The Classic Guide to Sewing the Perfect Jacket'  is a great book if you are interested in sewing the perfect blazer.  We talked about it before: Vogue V8333 is a great sewing pattern and study by Claire Shaeffer.
But Why would you want to sew a perfect jacket? Isn't it a bit outdated concept?  No it is not.  More and more classic clothing items are getting a complete revival. Mainly because we love the classics because of the concept of 'sustainability'  It is the complete opposite of buying mass clothes as cheap as possible.
If you have a great shaped tailor-made jacket, you might wear it for years!


Let's read the book with a lot of information about tailoring the perfect jacket!

Tailoring the perfect jacket: read our review sewing pattern Vogue V8333!
OUR REVIEW:

Very good:
  • The book is  a perfect guide for those who want to sew a jacket or coat
  •  Lots of great general information as well as specific explanations of techniques
  •  Beautiful photographs
  • Great book for  advanced seamstress
  • In-depth information about the three sewing techniques used for tailoring a jacket: custom, machine and fusible.  A great guide to understand and make useful and wise choices. Choosing or combining these methods. You ca learn the best method/technique for construction or detailed finishing.

Could be better:
  • Do not misunderstand this book as being a sewing-guide for dummies.
  • Paragraph "Constructing the jacket" is a nightmare for a beginner.  Do not let them scare you off too much. Drawings instead of photographs would be more motivating as certain details would have been reduced to provide manageable instructions.

Note: Interesting stuff:  How to recognize a well-tailored or couture jacket....
