You use 2 1/4" in the drafting video but the coat notes say 2 1/2", which is correct and why?

- Savile Row Garments makingI am fairly happy with my buttonholes on the whole, but there is a fundamental difference that I see with professional ones and I can't work out what I am not doing quite right. Pictured below are 1. One of mine and 2. One on a velvet Savile Row DJ I have (not made for myself sadly): The stitches seem much tighter, closer together. It's also much stiffer. The thread might also be finer I think? If I try to pull stitches tighter it just makes the hole deformed. Any ideas?Like
- General DiscussionsI have a question on the back width from 1-6. In drafting by proportionate it's made 1/3 scale plus 2 1/4. But if back has a 3/8 seam only on the sideseam, creating and excess 3/8". So if the back only has one seam in the side, wouldn't the width be 1/3 scale plus 1 7/8? Or is the extra 3/8" for shaping the back, or for an excess drape? I'm just a little confused because the width of back was usally made 1/3 scale plus 1 3/4 (for a 1/4" seam in the side), or 2" (for a 1/4 seam in both side and back).Like
