    Picked up a vintage ysl homme jacket for 5eu, was super bummed when I found out it had huge padding when I put it on back at home. This vid helped me remove them, fits great now! Cheers!!

    To be fair, the point of a coat is that it simplifies the lines of one's figure, accentuates positive features, and hides negative features. Having any pad in has two core benefits. The first benefit falls under that category of simplifying the body into clear lines. Even the thinnest of pads will mold to the form on one's shoulder, this is crucial in hiding areas that stab out, such as the various peaks and troughs created by areas such as the collar bone. By inserting even a very thin pad, you can still have that natural look without any excessive added shoulder heft. The second benefit, and the more obvious one, goes under the accentuating positive features, in this case providing a visual extension in height and width to the shoulder.

    I’ve pulled shoulder padding out of 3 or 4 leather jackets now, very satisfying to see it fit better. I’ve seen them glued on with foam but usually pulled through some type of loop and stitched down in two places.

    When I take out the should pad, the shoulder and sleeve cap area still appears too big (it was cut originally for the pad to be included). What do I have to know about cutting down the market shoulder and sleeve cap in order for the excess fabric to "disappear"?

    Top notch quality, by far the most the instructional and professional tailor I’ve seen so far on KZread. Do you think you could do a video on: 1) removing the collar roll from a suit jacket 2) shortening the coat sleeves that have surgeon cuffs from the shoulder 3) ~ alterations that could help alleviate collar gap? I know the general consensus is to size up, but if there are any known alterations to deal with a very slight collar gap?
