How to shorten a coat 

It's more than a kindness for you, Master Tailor, to share what you've spent a lifetime perfecting. Thank you. I hope I do you justice

Thanks, and Greetings from Honduras, this amazing video helped me so much. Blessings.

Perfect! Just the info I needed to get me through an emergency alteration in time for this weekend. Thank you so much for keeping this video up!

I only found your video today. I would love to see more of your videos. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you. As a man with a combat arms background i find i like sewing, tailoring and can hardly find things having to do with menswear. I can hardly find mens patterns worth a damn and its mostly women, god love em, that make these videos. I watch to learn on occasion but i find it difficult to translate some advanced stuff to men's apparel.

Thank you Mr Villegas for sharing your quality top tips

Ha...love the falling tools and the tearing of the lining!! Classic!

Thank you. I have a friend with broad shoulders and short body. This makes it a bit simpler for me. I have already shortened a beautiful European oilve green wool jacket.

Great vid. I have shortened a sport jacket using this tech. and it is perfect. Thank you Mr Villegas you are a true craftsman.

Thanks for the upload . Well done sir!

Thank you sir. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Thank you Eddie. Could you please do a lesson on how to take in jacket so it's not boxy.

Im have a lot of suits I would like to shorten, and found your video useful.

with pants that high, his coat need only be to the bottom of his armpits... All jokes aside, excellent video by an excellent tailor.

Gracias señor ., From your newest subscriber

Mr Villegas please give more tips of the trade or lessons !

Well done

Thank you for the instructions. At 10:49, when you tie off the basting on the lining, how would you then sew the final hem on the lining - the same "going back" way you sewed the outer hem?

Thank you

Mr Villegas do you give lessons? I need to alter my grandson's suit.

thank you sir

Well explained...

Amazing, just amazing

brutal aber practical

4:10- 4:13 with subs !!

Honestly to say, this way has destroyed the suit. I will never do my jacket in this manner.

subtitles are awful. get someone who knows sewing to note what he says

What!? No! Threads shouldn't be showing on the external side of the coat! Lining hasn't been secured by machine. And, his commentary is awful......i.e. "....take some of this".....what is "this"!? Hand covers up action most of the time. Very unclear about dimensions. Terrible.

this guy is a butcher not a tailor..
