UNDERSTANDING THE JACKET
1. SPLIT COLAR: This is designed to provide a snug and clean fit around the collar. It also ensures the coat has a balanced lightweight effect on your neck and shoulders to control the foreparts.
2. SHOULDER PAD: used to mould and maintain the shape and lines of the sleeve
3. CHEST PIECE: Commonly made from two pieces of canvas to produce a naturally curved shape for the shest and shoulder, usually also accompanied by a layer of felt which is attatched to soften the chest piece and create a greater comfort for the wearer.
4. SLEEVE HEAD: Like the shoulder pad, two layers of canvas are used to mould and maintain the structure of the sleeve head.
5. BIAS AND STRAIGHT TAPES: used to support and reinforce seams.
6. THE BRIDAL LINE: this is where the lapel rolls. The bridal line tape is drawn to help naturally curve the lapel roll.
7. LAPEL AND FACING: in the lapel and facing a thin layer of using is used to create long lasting shape. The fusing is also used in the outer breast welt, collar and sleeve cuff.
8. THE SLEEVE LINING: This is sewn and fixed of the coat, attatching the armhole lining. This ensures that the lining in this area has more durability, help with superior sleeve drape and a quality tailored finish.
