The hardest garment in tailoring begins with the draft. Get the pattern right, shaped to the body in front of you, and the making has a chance. Get it wrong and no amount of hand-work will save it. This course teaches the drafting and figuration behind a bespoke jacket.
Draft single breasted, double breasted and corpulent jacket patterns
Figure the pattern to real bodies: square shoulders, a round back, a corpulent build
Work up full-scale drafts, ready to cut
Understand why each line is drawn as it is, so you can draft for any client

“The Savile Row Bespoke Academy online tailoring course has far exceeded my expectations. The depth of knowledge I acquired while studying is astonishing. This course not only equipped me with the technical skills necessary for bespoke tailoring but also touched on the rich history, intricate techniques, and nuances of the craft of sartorial tailoring.”

“The ARTS online course gave me access to a wealth of knowledge that I haven't found curated so well anywhere else. The platform is very user friendly because the course content is organised neatly into modules and topics which makes it easy to follow and track your progress. I particularly enjoyed the hand sewing module and came to appreciate hand craft tailoring as a very relaxing and calming exercise once I mastered the needle and thimble action.”

“I’m so happy to have spent the past couple of years working my way through this course under the watchful eye of Prof Ramroop. He has a fascinating background and extensive experience, which he is more than happy to share and he encourages me to ask as many questions about all aspects of tailoring (the practice and the business) – he truly is a one of a kind.”

“What i liked the most was to watch Master Ramroop explaining step by step, how to finish and to perfect a garment. Each of the videos had its own sense and important points, to become a real master of the trade. What stood out the most to me was the ability to rewatch and consolidate the knowledge. I really felt supported by every step i took, by every decision i had to make and guided in questions about the business. ”
