If you learn this draft, you will never have problems with your sleeves ever again. In this video I will show you my personal sleeve drafting system for tailored coats. This is a system that I have designed myself and have never seen anywhere else. With all the research that I have done (11 years hands on experience, in-person conversations with over 50 tailors and cutters and an in-depth analysis of roughly 270 tailoring books) I believe this system to be the most technically correct. It is extremely easy to use and it will guarantee you good sleeves. If you have ever wondered "What is the best way to draft sleeves?", this video answers it. It works in line with the natural construction of the sleeves. Let me know what you think of it. Enjoy! Disclaimer: This system will also reveal balance flaws that your coat pattern might have. If your armhole shape is incorrect, or the balance of your garment is off, you might get bad results. And in that case you should first fix the body of the coat. That said, this draft works with every coat pattern and armhole shape.
