Suit Tailoring Series: Add Darts To A Suit Jacket

Like so many tailoring procedures and suit jacket alterations, this is another perfect one for any gender and any garment!

This one in particular is going to take the very fashionable boxy shape of a suit jacket or suit vest in this case, and mold the sides into a fitted slightly concave shape, flattering.

This alteration allows us to dive a little bit deeper into lined garments. Whereas unlined garments can just be taken in simply with darts in a single step procedure, here we will have to go in between the layers and navigate installing even-depth darts that match on either side. It is a little tricky, but a very fun one, follow along with me below as we create suit jacket darts.
