L14: Darts & Wedges Explained | Online Coat Making Course

[@Crazy-rc5ot]

This channel is so criminally underrated... Sharing the knowledge that helps anyone really *understand* the construction of a complex garment is invaluable. I can't wait to make my first suit, you've made it even more exciting!

[@sbaumgartner9848]

I agree. And also respect the training and skills that go into construction. What I find is that few of these people make an income that reflects the huge amount of money and effort they've put into their trade.

[@OFFICIALISOT]

That’s exactly our purpose. If we succeed in teaching you the “alphabet” of tailoring, then I’m confident that you’ll be capable of making pretty much whatever your imagination generates! Thank you for your wonderful comment. I had never heard of criminally underrated 😄 Reza

[@MrMusickey]

It truly is. Initially I was trudging through those old German tailoring books and couldn't make heads or tails of what the text was saying. But with Reza and his team, they visually show the steps and explain the theory in such a way that it genuinely makes sense.

[@JojoAde]

​@@MrMusickeyexactly! I hope everyone of us make donations so this can continue

[@roxananedelcu5619]

Thank you so much for your work and generosity. It is so good and easy to understand, it is all the details which makes the difference and no one tell you about! Thank you! Reza’s presentation skills are also amaizing! Love it all!

This video blew my mind

[@sherrillsturm7240]

THIS IS AMAZING!

[@quacknom7759]

I seriously wish all the classes I took at school were this well explained. The brief review on relative length at the beginning of the video complemented really well the video lesson where you explain it. I was amazed at how well I felt the concept click in my mind and made me grasp it a lot better. Thanks a lot for your excellent way of teaching and I'm looking forward to the following videos on the course!

[@OFFICIALISOT]

This is great feedback! Thank you. I’m very happy to know you enjoyed the lesson and found it useful. Mission accomplished! You are welcome 🙏🏼 Reza

[@evamonroe]

This was great. It's one thing to teach people how to do something, but to teach them why they are doing it is amazing.

[@OFFICIALISOT]

I fully agree with you. I’m glad this is reflected in the lesson. Thank you Eva. Reza

[@carvinganish]

What an amazing lesson. Came here to learn how to make a jacket, leaving inspired to recreate everyday items with paper and tape!

[@OFFICIALISOT]

That's the spirit! A jacket is just another everyday item :) Reza

[@maysa-nv8go]

first unique video ive ever seen on youtube

[@OFFICIALISOT]

That's a big compliment. Thank you! Reza

[@jameshoffman5159]

Brilliant explanation! This is far and away the best explanation I have ever seen! A basic dart and a double dart were always pretty easy to understand intuitively but the wedge and it’s relationship to the double dart blew me away. Excellent work!!!

[@OFFICIALISOT]

Mission accomplished! :D Reza

[@KennethMadisson]

Omg! Never before I enjoyed an hour class at school as I just did! 🤣❤I'll definitely try to do the exercise at the end. Wish me luck! 😝

[@OFFICIALISOT]

Good luck Kenneth! Persist through then and you’ll master it. See it as a software update for your mind😄 Reza

[@faezeghobadi9774]

Wooow you're the best teacher, it's awesome ❤❤❤

[@OFFICIALISOT]

Thank you! 😃 Reza

[@JojoAde]

I love this tutorial so much that i didn't know time is far spent😂 Thank you Reza and team ❤❤ much love 💕 💕

[@pdavis7286]

This is crazy. While I understand the execution can be complicated, if one takes their time, a person will always be able to construct any object by using these extremely well-explained concepts. A couple of years ago I decided to draft my first pair of slacks. Six months later I had a pattern for elastic waisted lounge pants and up to a dozen un-usable slopers. Reading various sources in books and studying photos on the web, I was left so confused by instructions saying if you have pull lines going this way, do this; If you have pull lines going that way, do that, yet they often didn’t work out. You have explained in the simplest terms the why that lies behind so many seemingly random adjustments. I can also see now, while in theory, so many of the recommended adjustments appeared to be common sense, they were in fact missing an element or simply wrong. Well done Reza. Been sewing for forty years and you just made sense of something I took for granted on purchased patterns.

[@OFFICIALISOT]

I'm very happy to read this. If I can simplify these concepts and bring valuable insight, then we're making some progress on our end :) Reza

[@simiquaver]

I have to admit that I thought this was going to be a boring lesson and perhaps even useless. I was so wrong! This is absolutely fantastic. I’ve had many sewing and tailoring classes, and I cant think of any one class that I’ve enjoyed more. I’m just blown away by how good this is. I’ve watched twice and I’m about to watch again in preparation for doing the exercises. Just when you think you already know something…

[@OFFICIALISOT]

Very happy to read this. Enjoy:) Reza

[@daccaippi]

Oh my God... Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@dsalgado515]

Being a visual learner, I thank you for the examples with the shapes!!! You gave me a whole new perspective and it makes so much more sense

[@OFFICIALISOT]

I'm very happy that this was helpful :) Reza

[@marinahashemi523]

These videos are a gift the world doesn’t deserve. Thank you!!!!! Would you be able to share the make of the iron you were using please?

[@OFFICIALISOT]

Thank you Marina. You’re very kind. The iron is from Stirovap Italy. It’s 5kg in weight. If you are based in the UK, you can contact Danor Engineering and see if they have any in stock.

[@Staffsknot]

WOW Reza, this lesson on Darts and Wedges was something. else. I have never previously had darts explained to me like this. Thank you. I will start looking and attempting the lessons on flat, positive and negative curves as advised.

[@OFFICIALISOT]

I am very happy that you are enjoying the lessons and are doing the exercises. Enjoy! Reza

[@MargoTheNerd]

This channel is fantastic. Can't wait to be able to get the course package, this knowledge has ought to be preserved aside from haute couture sewing that is available to the 0,1% of the population. Tailored clothes can make any body look fabulous, unlike modern clothing without structure, made out if stretch fabric that hides poor patterning.

[@PaulaUlloa-gd6bp]

So far my favorite lesson! Darts and wedges🥰

[@sergioa.catalagomez3868]

What an amazing enriching lesson. Thank you very much!

[@OFFICIALISOT]

You're welcome Sergio! Reza

[@Kirindor]

Thank you for this series. I loved this lesson,

I can’t believe how lucky I am in finding a sooo great content on youtube. Reza, you are amazing. ❤ making my donation in a few seconds..

[@OFFICIALISOT]

Very kind of you. We are lucky that you have found us! Reza

[@asherarnold5884]

Best lesson so far. Thank you for the home work as well. Very excited to try this out.

[@OFFICIALISOT]

Looking forwards to see your results! Reza

[@lucas5232-s5l]

This is mind blowing... It's so well explained... I've been looking for content about tailoring for a long time and I'm very grateful you're providing this for free... I hope your channel grows...

[@abdelraouffarg6297]

I am really amazed about you and your channel. I 'm gonna watch this video more and more. I wish you the most luck

[@OFFICIALISOT]

Thank you! I'm very happy that you found our channel and can benefit from it. Reza

[@RezaMarz]

Excellent. God bless you.

[@adosmusichalloffame]

OMG! Thank You Mr Reza. This lesson was fascinating! And Ms. Mowgli and You are lovely! You are a genius.

[@OrrieInBetween]

I must say, your work is absolutely amazing. I'm not sure my professors at uni had that much knowledge about the mechanics of garment construction. You're a talented teacher, too, which makes these videos a joy to watch and learn from. I had a question about the hammer dart positioned on the break line- how would the same amount be subtracted from the facing, if at all? I imagine that would be important in order to allow it to lay flat on top? Thank you so much for your exceptional work!

[@OFFICIALISOT]

Thank you very much for the compliments. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. The facing doesn’t need that dart or any special shaping to accommodate for it. That dart really affects the chest, and not the lapel. The facing only covers the lapel. Reza

[@HeikeM-bc6ee]

excellent; outstanding; marvelous

[@RezaMarz]

Perfect...

[@sirsherguioth4573]

It is very interesting, I loved this class, sir, I can only say thank you.

[@stevekroodsma5747]

Thanks!

[@yaraBM]

I am so speechless this lesson is amazing. I watched it two times 😍Thank you thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Best of luck for you and your team ❤

[@OFFICIALISOT]

Thank you. I’m very happy that you like it. Reza

[@thatxonexguy5438]

Great video 👍

[@suneelthapa25]

Thank you, sir. Your explanation clear all of my doubts.

[@OFFICIALISOT]

You’re welcome Suneel. Reza

[@Theoutfithp]

Thank you a lots for your sharing ❤

[@OFFICIALISOT]

Pleasure is all mine. Reza

[@parliamentofowls32]

Thank you very much for the lesson! What would you recommend to use if I need to make a dart to accomodate a female chest, but I don't want to draw extra attention to the curves? I would like to get as masculine fit as possible, but with keeping some space for comfortable fit Could you give me advice in which direction I should look for this? Thanks a lot for your work! This is extremely generous of you to share this amount of professional knowledge on KZbin

[@mariettetimmer2481]

Dank u wel. Heel erg verhelderend.

[@ChickensChazer]

Really never had it explained so clearly. It makes so much sense now, haha. So question to see if I understand. If I see tailors use a double dart in the front part, it means they will have to use to iron to shrink some uit in the lower half of the forepart?

[@OFFICIALISOT]

Very happy to know this. Answer: No. You can’t “shrink” a dart flat. You can only compress it for a while. It will come back. The correct thing would be to use a single front dart with a pocket cut. You can always fiddle and do acrobatics with inappropriate techniques and make them work, but it’s as if you’re trying to chop an onion with a fork while the knife is also available and more appropriate. Reza

[@bricklebox2099]

Amazing.

[@giovannadias7270]

vera interesting! thank you for sharing. do you recommend any reading materials on the topic? if you have any articles or books on the subject please let me know, i’m focused on improving my knowledge about the theory involved in garment making

[@MariavdMeer]

Super blij met je fantastische lessen, ik volg ze vanuit nederland. Kan ik ook de stofpakketten bestellen.?

[@OFFICIALISOT]

@@MariavdMeer Dankjewel Maria! Jazeker dat kan. Dat kun je gewoon via onze website doen😊 www.internationalschooloftailoring.com/category/purple-box-bundles?scrollToProduct=traditional-bundle-bespoke-tailoring-trimmings-and-materials Reza

[@kubdol3312]

Is the reversed tuck dart used anywhere?

[@OFFICIALISOT]

You could use it wherever you see fit. Generally not used on traditional suits. More in costume design. Reza

[@kubdol3312]

no lesson this week? :(

[@sbaumgartner9848]

For some reason my original comment is no longer there. Anyways, Reza outdid himself with this lesson. And now he's rightfully thrown in back into our court to practice what he's shown us.

[@NowaToli]

Tradition please❤français

Mi idioma es español, y mientras veo la traducción me pierdo las indicaciones gráficas. Es excelente profesional pero no puedo aprovechar todo
