Hello friends! In today’s video, I will be showing you how to raise the shoulder on a jacket. This is an advanced/professional alteration process but I want to cater to all levels here on my channel. The shoulders on this jacket were already eased very well, so the next time I have a job that needs to ease the shoulders on a jacket, I will show you guys! If you find this video useful, please don’t forget to like, comment, share, and subscribe. Your support means the world to me! ❤️

I found a gorgeous wool cashmere blazer for my son at a charity shop & I've been putting off adjusting the shoulders, because everyone says it's so difficult. With 50yrs of sewing experience, & having watched your logical process, I realised I should have had more faith in myself from the start. It's going to look fabulous, thank you!

@DowntownTailoring Месяц назад

Yessss! Happy sewing! 😊

I like to get Men’s jackets from the thrift shop to wear. I have just let the shoulders alone because I am afraid of doing the alteration you show in this video. After watching, I’m still afraid, but might give it a try. Thanks.

@JuliaSophia52 2 года назад

Thank you for showing your method of raising or narrowing the shoulder on jackets. Being a petite (5 ft tall) I have to do this every time I buy a ready made jacket. I use this method at the same time shortening the sleeves by cutting a new sleeve cap. This preserves the sleeve vent and buttons at the hem. Using different color tailor tacks, or markings, is a great idea. Yea, I've come close to switching sleeves.

@DowntownTailoring 2 года назад

I love your videos. I'm trying to develop this skill and they are basically a free class. Thank you so much. Btw I always use children's washable felt tip pens to mark fabric, it comes right off in the wash and you can color code things if you need to. (Of course this isn't suitable for all fabrics).

Good morning. This was very helpful. Would you, please, consider making another video for fixing a large hole on the lining? The satin lining on my husbands suit jacket ripped away from the side seam and the material is now all shredded. It has also grown into a large rip and hole (he should have told me earlier!). Anyway, I can't find any matching lining fabric and I'm not sure how to patch it up. Any ideas? Thank you.

Looks as good as new! I have an overcoat that i thrifted thats from the 90s so the shoulder seam is in the middle of my shoulder. Im considering doing this. fortunately, the shoulders dont have any padding at all so im hoping it would be easier since i dont have a lot of layers to keep track of

@DowntownTailoring 2 года назад

Yes! When you don't have so many layers is a little easier 😊

@DowntownTailoring 2 года назад

@@thatxonexguy5438 as you are still young, I'd recommend to go to tailoring school and while you are at it, do as much tailoring you can make mostly for yourself and a little bit for others. Sewing for yourself will give you feedback on the areas you need to improve but also on the things you are doing well. Sewing for others will give you a good perspective on people's expectations. Cheers 🙂

Thank you so much! As usual I learned something new today! I really like the trick of the reenforced sleeves in a future when I do some kind of coat I will use it, maybe... If I remember it! 🤭 But I don't think I will do an alteration like this like someone else commented it's too scary!!! Probably I will think about it and keep thinking about it for soo long that I would be afraid to even start the unstitching!!! In a few years if I feel more confident with my skills maybe give it a try but for now is a No for me 😅

How would you take up a shoulder seam in a man's jacket?

@marymagdalene3004 2 года назад

I was surprised to see you hand sew the sleeve lining back in place. But, maybe that's the better way to do it. Must say, though, that it looked good when you finished it so I guess that's the bottom line!

@DowntownTailoring 2 года назад

Thanks 😊 If I don't have enough time I sew it by machine. But I do it mostly by hand because my customers appreciate it!

@designlady1732 Год назад

I need some help. I bought a wool winter jacket that has sleeves so sloped, I cannot put my hands in the hip or breast pockets without the whole thing riding up. It's drop-shouldered. I'm unsure if the alteration needs a gusset or a full sleeve. When it went on sale, I purchased two so that I would have fabric to raise the shoulder cap (same as you have here) and draft two sleeves will a fuller range of movement. I've never seen this alteration done before.

@DowntownTailoring Год назад

Please, look for my email on my channel and show me a few pictures. I need to see the problem clearly, so I need good quality pictures from different angles from close and far. I might be able to help you with a Short. Cheers 😊

@crazylilcraft 2 года назад

Hi there, thanks for another great video! I do this alteration at my shop, but I only unpick the sleeves about 3/4 of the way, leaving them stitched together at the underarm below where I am trimming away for the new shoulder line. Do you think it is necessary to take them completely off?

@DowntownTailoring 2 года назад

Not really. I'd say is ok as long you are absolutely sure you're going to connect the old a new line properly. I mean, sometimes it might be difficult to visualize a good armhole line when you have the sleeves still attached. But for an experience tailor/seamstress, is not really that hard. I hope this helps 😊

@crazylilcraft 2 года назад

@@DowntownTailoring thanks! now I understand why you take the whole sleeve off, I was wondering as it seemed to be giving yourself more work:)

@DowntownTailoring 2 года назад

@@crazylilcraft Yes, I know. I have analyzed that many times before concluding that it's safer opening the whole thing. There are circumstances where I don't open all the way. Cheers 😉

@DivaGalsDaily 2 года назад

What if a blazer needs to be shortened at the shoulder seam that connects the sleeve to the collar? I'm very short, so shortening the hem doesn't fix the elongated proportion. I think adding a seam at the shoulder seam on a soft-constructed blazer would work, right? Love to see a video on that!

@DowntownTailoring 2 года назад

Thanks! It can work, but remember that every case is unique and each one should be analyzed accordingly. Cheers!

@somewhereinbetween1499 Год назад

Doesn't the sleeve pitch change when you shift the shoulders? You would have to rotate the entire sleeve slightly when sewing it back on, because I would imagine connecting it at the same spot would cause the pitch to change.

@DowntownTailoring Год назад

That's an excellent question!!! And the answer is yes and not. I measure the high more than the point. That's why you see me marking it with a horizontal to the floor line. If you apply internal and external angles theorem you will notice what I mean ( saying that to the risk of looking too 🤓 nerdy!) 😭😭😭 But I love this question and I thought about it for a long time until I discovered that I can avoid the problem by marking this way. Cheers 😊

@suitcafe 5 месяцев назад

This is a big alteration and not every tailor can do it. That jacket has a crazy amount of padding. You can tell you know your craft by how you use the razor blade.
