Awesome video. I usually alter my overalls for length. I would love to know how to alter a jacket or coat made of duck canvas. The sleeves are always a few inches long and the inside is a quilted lined sleeve.

[@littlelady7843]

I am a women and enjoyed this video very much. I shorten my sweater the same way this video showed. Other videos will teach you to cut first, then sew. No no! As the edge will ravel and it gets messy fast. This is the best way. To sew first, then cut. Neat and easy. I learned one new thing. I usually zig zag the edges of the two pieces fabric together. This video showed to sew them separately and then iron the edges down flat. It is smoother and no bunching this way. Good job!

[@domagojbosanac1569]

A LOT of moms and grandmas around the world are thanking you right now. Great content as always!

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Haha! Thanks Dom.

[@AlexanderOnHisDay]

Sewing made easy! Thank you for also showing the settings on the machine (and explaining why). Just got a set of pants done as I was watching this. Keep up the good work!

[@JeffreyJJohnson]

This is information that I will really be able to use. Have lost 35 pounds in the past year so nothing fits now and I have been sewing masks so have built up that experience, thanks!

[@patrickmiao1698]

I recently decided to up my game with my clothing after more than 10 years of neglect. Now I have a lot of clothes that are a little too big (I used to weightlift) and want to tailor everything. I used to have a tailor do it but it is too expensive (as well as difficult finding a good tailor). Thank Antonio, been watching your videos almost everyday for the last three weeks, subscribed and making comments now. You are doing a great work in sharing your knowledge and style sense.

[@padcha8210]

This video is amazing! 😍 Everything is explained thoroughly yet in a nutshell. Moreover, the production quality is great. I also like that this sewing video is produced by and for men. This makes the female-focused sewing world a bit more diverse. I like sewing, but it's still exotic to be a man saying so... 😅

[@miltonsaucedo2223]

Awesome video! Simple enough instructions. Helping us skinny guys fix our clothes to actually fit us!

[@--chapmandavidm8518]

I thought this was another excellent fitting tip. I am tired of looking less than 100%. Real Men Real Style has given me the knowledge of how to dress better. I like the tips on how to modify my clothes or dressing style to make me look better. Thank you very much.

[@Angelica__Marie]

Hey Antonio! Me and my dad were watching this video and I’d love to get the sewing machine for him for his birthday. What sewing machine do you have? Thank you!!

[@lexiebarnetson468]

this was one of the best sewing tutorials I've watched thanks so much :)

[@danielfrancis3660]

I think there are two sides to this. The obvious one is to by clothes that initially fit. The second one is if your body size changes over time eg you loose weight then this video is fantastic and adds to your skill set. Im definitely thinking of getting a sewing machine.

[@SansAziza]

I recommend you infiltrate a cosplay forum. There is nothing those people don't know about sewing.

[@purduevoices]

I am a petite female and found this very helpful.

[@steffentysnes5302]

I dot need to tailor any clothes right now, but this seems like pretty quality advice from my perspective, thank you for this tool.

[@imsergiohere]

I'm from shorter side and I suffer from non fitting sweaters. Today I tested like 10 sweaters and only 2 were acceptable. I will try to adjust mine after watching your video.

[@PhillsFashion]

Excellent video Antonio thanks Iam definitely gonna try to do it my self.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Sounds like a plan.

[@PhillsFashion]

@@RealMenRealStyle tired of paying for the dry cleaners to do it.

[@labnab]

Could you share the sewing machine you used in the video? Thank you!

[@suewatson8688]

Best sweater alterations video I’ve seen Nice and clear concise and good closeup !

[@dkdude]

great guide, thanks! do you have one for woolen sweaters? or does the same technique in the video translate to cable knit woolen sweaters? cheers

[@themezorcist]

Damn, that's a perfect fit sweater. Love this channel!

[@hunkharry5011]

Perfect video , Kindly please do so with all type of cloths as a series Much appreciated :)

[@bellemieux]

This is the best tutorial I have found. Thank you!

[@manpreettalwar4284]

Any way we can alter the jackets specially the leather ones??

[@colinevans7134]

Brilliant video and teacher, thanks for showing us your skills kind regards colin from croydon surrey England 👍 ❤ 👏

[@aaronarguelles8322]

Gotta sign up for a sewing class!

[@andreaskingbo3039]

Great video Antonio. How about tailoring your dress shirt next? Keep up the good work!

[@deepashreepairaiker8182]

Wanted to know about the shoulder width, how can we reduce that?

[@angelamarie7584]

Yea good question I bought a favorite sweater and it's too large all around...

[@shahirajalishah4717]

I just want to ask you if you make a video on teenage style tips and also grooming tips

[@matthewalexanderbelleville6233]

How do you tailor or fit a jacket with lining made of a delicate fabric like suede

[@TheDragonForceDF]

My god, this is really amazing, i was thinking in remove the arms section, crop and finally sew again haha, ty a lot !

[@robjordan204]

What's up... Can you do an example of this with a hooded sweatshirt?? Nike, UnderArmor, etc....

[@robjordan204]

The waistline isn't tight enuff, makes my sweatshirts look huge and worn-out. I like the snug fit around the waist, Thanks...

[@EndTimeFilmsCoTM]

These tutorial are really helpful. Keep 'em coming. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@sinfullXIII]

Oh snap! Antonio wants me to play life on hard mode rn. I loved the video just doubt I can replicate it. Maybe I'll trust a tailor to do it for me.

[@donaldwarriner1640]

Clear and concise. Thank you.

[@richardemanuelmiller2968]

Hey, bro, can you do a wool cardigan sweater next? Mine are all too long, but they have pockets close to the bottom, can the pockets be moved up? Or do I have to just sew right through them and shorten them?

[@Davytron]

Thank you for the awesome tutorial. Can I use my serger for the seams?

[@msyt232]

What about tops of sleeves that hang too low off the shoulder?

[@sarinsahil]

What kind of stitch type do I look for in a machine to do this? I am from a different country so the provided link is not an option. Thank you! :)

[@santiagonm1324]

I literally have a baggy sweater that was given as a gift, this came in very useful. Great video as always Antonio!

[@edennis3202]

Unless you're a very experienced sew-er, you risk making an awful hash of that sweater. If it's wool, soak it for a few minutes in warm water and hang it to dry. If it doesn't dry small enough, you can always repeat the process until it's where you want it. If it's cotton, wash it and air dry it before you decide; it might shrink. If it doesn't, turn it inside out and wash it again, then put it in the dryer on the permanent press setting. I have found that doing that shrinks my cotton sweaters by one full size. My husband has put cotton sweaters in the dryer more than once. There goes $80 down the drain each time.

[@fleetingfootnotes9133]

What I thought? Awesome! Great job. Then it reminds me, when I think back to school. Things we should have learned as well: singing, dancing, cooking and tailoring. People need skills.

[@shahirajalishah4717]

Thank you Antonio sir for helping me out

[@sentiasatransformasi]

actually I just knew that you can alter a sweatshirt length n width, which is a perfect solution for short guys like me. I find it extremely hard to find a high quality clothing item that fits me nicely. this just solves it

[@helenstuart9502]

Fantastic, but how do you alter a large neckline

[@Mr.Incite]

Hi Antonio, us always perfect video. Antonio Could you please give us some good advice on what kind of books a gentleman should read?

[@muffemod]

Masking tape works much better than a fabric pencil FYI

[@Yentra163]

@@muffemod Or chalk! I have never found a fabric pencil that works.

[@muffemod]

@@Yentra163 Real AND True!

[@TLB-wo7ld]

This is very helpful!! Best tutorial I have seem to shorten so far actually. 👍

[@SupraFreshZ]

Tailor pants next. Hem and Taper!

[@TheProfessionalGamerSS4444]

Would be interested in this in terms of jeans and dress pants.

[@amailalam9837]

Man this is helpful,thank you... hey quick question? I have a turtle neck sweater that the neck part is miss shaped. But I really like it any suggestions?

[@munem939]

Luckily for me, all my jumpers (What we call sweaters in the UK) fit perfectly. If they are a tad loose, after a few times in the washing machine and dryer is enough to make them fit tightly and comfortably

[@donaldwarriner1640]

To the point and informative. Thank you.

[@SansAziza]

I clicked this, because I thought he was going to say "shoulder nipples" at least once. 😂

[@bkkushal]

Thanks a lot ,just what I needed!!

[@nareshlamsal2684]

Same brother

[@freshfade28]

I can't believe I'm actually interested in this. My how times have changed lol

[@shutterinsight]

This is really cool, there's no way I will be able to do this with the sewing skills I have... But perhaps one day 😂

[@Theincrediblespud]

Does this raise the armpit too?

[@adrianfana819]

Thank you Real Men Real Style, very cool!!.

[@laurentrondeau3431]

New fan, new subscriber. Thanks!

[@fireboltaz]

What if I just wash it and dry it on high heat? Shrink will naturally occur right?

[@SansAziza]

Yeah, but it has a chance to shrink unevenly.

[@smashic]

Didnt include how to shorten the shoulder length, if you could please cover that as well that would be great!!

[@tommyhtrout]

An easy to follow tutorial.

[@QueenAmethyst55]

What a brilliant video! Perfectly presented. ,💯 Thanks 👍

Wonderful video

[@ronaldoadoptante9414]

This is what I need 🥰

[@playstionproblems]

great vid, super useful!

[@SoftBryan]

Really well done

[@helendakin6784]

Would the sweater look better if you added underarm gussets? Or, because it's stretchy, it doesn't matter? Oh, great instructions. Thank you

[@carloscastropizarro]

Great video, thanks

A great subject.

[@rajendrakhanvilkar9362]

Great video

[@314ax]

I'm not going to try this because I'm all thumbs when it comes to sewing. However, I wanted to see if it's too dumb to ask my tailor whether he can alter a sweater (for the same reason I won't ask my mechanic to attach a pair of wings to my car. He can't and won't). Obviously, you can alter a sweater. Thanks for the video! Now to my tailor with my baggy sweater!

[@bc5127]

I'm gonna do this on a jumper i love but is to long 😉

[@TheMigueloangel]

Thank you! Always wondered if a sweater could be tailored to my size.. very helpful.

[@LaDivinaLover]

I personally think this sweater was altered a little too short but otherwise this was EXTREMELY helpful!! Thanks! 😉

[@Miguelon]

that's the perfect fit if you wanna look taller but up to you, you can make it a little bit baggy

[@jeffcamualton9833]

Another great video.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

Thanks Jeff! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@RajeevKBhardwaj]

Loved it thanks man

[@user-friendly468]

U shld give link of sewing machine

[@leogalvan1422]

I found a vintage all metal Kenmore sewing machine at Goodwill for 30 dollars. There are many videos on You Tube for any alteration you need to do. I am buying clothes from Goodwill to practice on . I consider a sewing machine just another power tool in my workshop.

[@mitnemert7699]

Gimme some tips on which sewing machine should I buy? I'm embarrased to ask my grandma' :D

[@toomanymarys7355]

Ask your Grandma. The good ones are pretty expensive. Expect to pay $250+ refurbished for a functional one, $300+ new.

Vanity is a vice

[@MrRoses0806]

great video, but I would rather pay the professional to do my alterations. guess I'm not a DIY guy when it comes to tailoring my clothing lol

[@bergy4657]

It would save me a ton of money to learn how to tailor a dress shirt. I have broad shoulders with a slimmer waist

[@LaModeO]

Awesome

[@luigicorrias]

Ok.. Great video as usual But we have aproblem here.. Often men is not able to use a sevillemachine.. first to star with your sweater do a lot of practise..

[@alenshibu16]

Never been so fast

[@rileyemel9913]

My arms are REALLY long, so I have to size up to get it to fit my arms but then it’s way too baggy

[@OveR1337XD]

So what if I get fat? Is there a reverse card? 😁
