Produktbeschreibung
“How to Make a Bespoke Jacket - eBook” is a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants to understand bespoke jacket making in depth — from ambitious hobbyists to professional tailors. It preserves traditional tailoring knowledge, brings it into a modern context, and makes the craft accessible step by step.
Rather than claiming to show the only way, the book presents both the traditional approach and my personal method of tailoring. It begins with a foundational section covering the essential hand-sewing techniques, followed by a special highlight: my own pattern-drafting system, explained in detail.
You will learn how to draft a jacket pattern from measurements, prepare it for cutting, and use it throughout the entire making process. From taking measurements and creating the pattern to the first fitting, fitting corrections, construction, and final pressing, the book guides you through every stage with clarity and precision.
For those who prefer not to draft their own pattern, ready-made jacket patterns in sizes 44–64 are available in the online shop. Please note the adjusted measurement charts.
The following topics will be covered:
Materials
Tools
Taking measurements
Pattern drafting
Cutting outer fabric and interlinings
Preparation for the first fitting (preparing, interlining, undercollar...)
The first fitting with potential fitting issues
Pockets, lining, and more
Sleeve drafting
Second fitting with sleeves
Perfect final insertion of the sleeve
Final handwork and pressing
... and much more!

Since its release, “How To Make a Bespoke Jacket” has found its way into tailoring ateliers, classrooms and private workshops worldwide. Here are a few impressions from readers.
“I searched through an extensive library about tailoring. In my opinion, many of the best tailoring books were published early in the previous century. This book presents that same quality of craftsmanship, aligned with the elegance of the present time. Finding it felt like filtering tons of sand for a chip of gold.”
— Petr, reader
“I’m not a professional tailor, but I learn something from this book every time I sew. It is an amazing resource, written with clarity, depth and a wonderful sense of humour.”
— Julia, reader
“For years I struggled with suit sleeves so much that I ended up hating them. I tried Sebastian’s method, and I’m literally crying — the sleeve finally actually looks like a sleeve.”
