Taking in the side seams

When taking in the side seams is it recommended that an equal amount of be taken from both the back and the sidebody panels?

That seems logical, I was giving some thought about your comment regarding more horizontal room at the back of my jacket and wondered if I should have takin less off the back panel. That would have in turn given me a larger half back measurement.


I will try this on my next coat project.


So many things to consider with tailoring......But I guess that is the point. I suspect that after making 3 - 5 coats the pattern should get better and need less corrections after the pocket baste.


Thanks Benjamin!
