Tailor's tips by Vitale Barberis Canonico: More about the sleeves

Vitale Barberis Canonico, one of the oldest woollen mills of the world, celebrates bespoke tailoring with the project Tailor's Tips, a series of 12 videos in which the master tailor Giovanni Barberis Organista, directed by Gianluca Migliarotti, tells what happens behind the scenes when a hand-stitched suit is created.

The ninth episode of the online tutorials by Giovanni Barberis Organista is about sleeves, too. In the previous episode you learn the basic sleeve types and their characteristics.

A sleeve should be given a bit of looseness, more in some points, lee in others, but all should be quite soft.It's a job that can be done on a sewing machine, but by hand, especially at the area of the upper arm, it comes out better.

The first basting is done, so go on with the second one, then it is pressed and sewn.

The second basting is closer to the hem, a bit closer together and this makes the fabric not as loose as before. If the sleeve was cut well, and the armhole has harmonious curves, there should be no problems.
