Tailoring


This jacket was both designed and made by myself for my second year tailoring project. The design is inspired by Gothic architecture, the seam lines and fluting shape of the extended back intended to reference gothic pillars and ceilings. It is made of 100% wool Melton dyed to the specific rifle green I requested. For this project we had a professional tailor as a guest lecturer so this jacket has been made with advanced tailoring techniques including specific interlinings for the front and collar. All the button holes were hand sewn and the collar was designed in such a way that it could be worn in several different styles depending on how many of the buttons were fastened.
