Tailor Teaches | How to Take in The Shoulder of a Jacket

I bought a jacket and the only problem I had, was regarding the shoulders that look exactly as you showed on this video, Will fix it once I come back home, appreciate it.

Thank you

Super

Lurnt alot man، Thank you very much.

Is there any way to avoid using the machine ? I don’t own one. I do have thread and needles though

love that jacket and shirt combo by the way. Patterned brown and medium dark blue is just great

Thank you so much for this!!

Thank you for sharing this video. I would really like to see more videos. On making an over sized thrifted jack fit better. Hope you have a great day.

Who doesn't like your longer videos?! Idjets! You're fantastic!

Just got more into thrifting lately and wanting to dress better; really excited to try some of your techniques! Thank you :)

Thank you for this! I thought this should be possible but all the tutorials I saw involved taking the jacket apart and like you I thrifted the jacket and did not want to go to that much trouble! 😊

Can this be done without a sewing machine?

So helpful. Thank you

Make it more in depth.

Won’t this end up with front of the cuff being lifted up at an angle compared to the under cuff?

YO!!! This is awesome!!! I thrift the majority of my jackets and this will help me dial in a few!! Especially because a lot of the ones I find have that kind of dated shoulder pad look.

Very nice sarji thanks 🙏👍

I love all your suits

Very informative .very well explained . Thank you for this good video. Jose from Australia

Thank you so much for this

Doesnt look good. It doesnt work easily like this especially with thick and layered fabric as such. That’s because when you trim the shoulder, the loophole is getting bigger while the connecting part on the sleeve stays the same.

Louis, I've watched and rewatched this video. Thank you! I'm a decent amateur and have tailored lots of shirts and pants. Do you think an amateur can do this at home with a decent machine? Looks scary, but i lost weight and nothing fits!

You just saved me from re-thrifting an amazing men’s blazer! I already spent money to have some tailor work done, but it still wasn’t quite right

Dude, thank you! I am going to try this on my sports coat. Lost some weight and dont want to get rid of it.

how do I shorten the coat?

Exactly what I was looking for. So much easier and faster than reattaching whole sleeve twice.

I keep sowing the arm shut 😫

Thank you. I'm in a Halloween sewing nightmare. This is amazing

What watch are you wearing?

Thanks alot! what if i want it to be a shirt shoulder, what do i do? i would be very pelased if someone answered i have this very nice jacket but don't know how to fix it :):)

Thank you! I’m going to try with a hoodie! Great video!

What to do if the customer wants a whole inch and a half off all the way around the sleeve so it shortens the length of the sleeve and decreases the sleeve size?

If the shoulder pads are to big I wouldnt totally do away with them. I would get a set that is thinner. Then if still need to take that seam down along the shoulder then u can do so, but the point of a shoulder pad in a suit coat is to give structure and support along the shoulder from the collar to the sleeve. You want that crisp clean line across the shoulder. I speak from from a professional level as I have been a tailor for over 30yrs. Plus if you have seen the runways for 2023 the shoulder pads are in style for men and women. If they are to big by all means take them down, but I wouldnt completely take them out. The shoulder will become baggy and unstructured and become that sloppy 80s look.

I really like the way you reduced the shoulder in such a quick efficient way. Thank you for sharing!

You just earned a new sub. Great tutorial as I am barely getting into tailoring my clothes. Thx a bunch.

Mujhe lga mera blazer hi defected h pr ye to common problem h😅😅

I'd like to add a step. I think it is important to always use a press cloth when pressing a garment like this. Otherwise I agree with your instructions.

Do it. i want to see how you get into that shoulder and move that seam thru that padding/flannel layers and lay flat, no point😮

I'm glad I found you. Can't wait to see what else you have. Thank you.

I'm fine with your easy method, it's not going to show anyway. Just thrifted this fabulous camel double breasted full length coat! I'll be doing the same for the sides. Thank you!

thanks for doing this it really helped me.

oh my god this is so easy how did i not know how to do this 😂 thx king! 💕

Sweet! Looks way way way better after you fitted it!

Very bad job

I'd like to see a more traditional method for shortening (raising) the shoulder of a man's jacket. I have volunteered as a "tailor" for my local theater company and they're asking me to reit men's suits. I've sewn a lot but this type of work is new and challenging to me.
THanks.

What a great video! I bought this gorgeous cashmere jacket but the shoulder pads are huge’ now I know EXACTLY how to fix it!!thank you !!

Subbed - great content!

Thanks for sharing! I was t old that this couldn't be done by the seamstress I used for my suit jackets as I am still working on getting up the nerve to tackle this myself.
