How To Tailor Your Suit Jacket Or Blazer At Home

About this video

Centeno provides a step-by-step guide to tailoring a suit jacket at home to achieve a slim, close fit. He covers measuring and pinning the jacket, sewing new seams with a machine, and finishing details like pressing and reattaching the lining.

Key takeaways

• Centeno recommends using a well-fitting jacket as a template to determine how much fabric to take in, or trying on the jacket and pinching fabric at the side seams to gauge the desired fit
• Centeno instructs to mark tapered lines that gradually slope from the side and back seams toward the armpit and vent areas, avoiding sharp angles to prevent dimpling
• Centeno advises sewing with a straight stitch at 2.5mm length, using back stitches at the start and end to secure threads, and testing the fit before permanently removing old stitches
