Hi Rory Is the main purpose of inlays to allow room to make adjustments after the fitting process? If so, once the adjustments have been made and recorded on the pattern (or a new pattern drafted with the amendments) is there any purpose to keeping inlays other than the back centre inlay (which I could see being useful for limited adjustment for weight gain etc). It is hard to see how these other inlays would be able to be used without totally remaking the coat. Would standard seam allowances be used therefore in subsequent garments from that pattern? I’d appreciate your thoughts on this Rory. Thanks.

hi i had a question regarding the side seam on the fore part i noticed that no seam allowance was added on the side only on center front yet a 3/8”seam was sewn wouldnt that take away from the ease of the coat or am i missing something. Thank you in advance

Hi Rory What is the cloth you use in this demonstration? It looks like a wool cashmere mix. Is it from Dugdales as well? It looks very smart and is a wonderful colour. PS. Is this a taster version of trouser making full video series and if so when is it planned to be released?
