Hello everybody!
Happy to see you here. This is the introduction lesson where we gonna look at two main parameters which affect our future trousers garment.
Also in this lesson we want to test some technical aspects. Let me know in comments if something went wrong with video or sound.
Master accurate client measurements for waist, hip, body rise, and length using a three-finger tape technique to ensure precise, comfortable bespoke trouser fit.
Learn to draft the front pant pattern for plaid trousers without pleats, using waist, hip, and body rise measurements, and construct crease, crutch, and front seat curve lines.
Construct the back pant pattern from the front detail, marking the back crotch line from hip measurements with a 3.5 cm radius and 1.8x adjustments for moderate and rounded buttocks.
Learn to add pattern allowances for men's bespoke trousers, including standard waistline, side seam and hem, plus extra allowances to remedy faults and place the pattern on fabric.
Cover cloth preparation, marking, and cutting of men's bespoke trousers, including hip line, waistline, knee line, inseam, front and back details, pattern transfer to fabric, and adding seam allowances.
Mark the knee line and crease with tailor's duck stitches, align front and back details from hip to crotch, then press seam allowances and attach waistband for the first fitting.
Create a bespoke master pattern for a client by marking corrections, transferring lines with a dressing wheel, and detailing pockets and seams for fit.
Address the common trouser fault—wrinkles under the back detail—using buttock-shape remedies. Draw lines from the inside leg seam toward the side seam, close the wrinkle, and apply vertical compensation.
Remedy the faults of the trouser by addressing another fault and aligning the waistline for a clean fit. Tackle the back detail to reduce wrinkles with a small back adjustment.
In the second fitting, the tailor confirms crease alignment, presses at the fly and pockets, and adjusts the back crotch ease for a smooth, wrinkle-free bespoke trouser.
There is nothing more satisfying than making one’s own clothes.
