Solutions for sleeves

Next we´ll pay attention to: the sleeves.

The difference between the one-piece sleeve and a two-pieced sleeve is not so evident- that it really could dominate the imression of a jacket. An other comparisation; usually one-piece sleeve and the raglan-sleeve. A raglan has not a really defined armhole, it starts mostly direct at the collar and goes in a diagonal way down under the arm into the sideseam. The raglan looks more sporty than the standard-sleeve. Think it depends on the softer defined shape of the shoulder in an raglanjacket. And the person wears a raglanshirt has more space to move the arms. The standardsleeve looks with the defined shoulders more edgy and serious than a raglan. I don´t want to make a sporty looking jacket, but the raglan is very intresting for my, because I´d like to try an experimental design in my prototype jacket. The raglan allows a huge variety in design!

The variety of variants....

The look from a garment base on several things, the shape, the fabric...and last but not least the special funktions, a garment may have. Very famous: to storage the private, little items, people carrys the whole day around with. So the garmenrt hust have: pockets. So many options for the design of the final jacket! It depends of, what look the jacket should present.
not easy decision.

The world of inspiration in just one Pocket!

Need some inspiration for variants from the jet-pocket or the welt-pocket- depents on my own favourite... Think I ´ll find a lot of matching points in the architecture- what you think?

The Pocket will be filled...

An essential item of a jacket was the topic in the last lecture- the pocket. There are so many variations possible- and all of tem will make an diversity look on the garment. Two kinds of pocket I learned today. On the one hand I add a jet pocket on my testgarment. On the other I´d sewed a welt- pocket. I was impressed again, from which small differences a whole look of a jacked depends of.
The big, wide macho-pocket
the edgy, exact cutted serious-pocket
the asymetric, crooked creative pocket

Now at the stage: the shawl-collar

At first view there is just the small, inconsiderable cut who make the big difference between the notched-collar and the shawl-collar! But the interpretation from some observers could be very variable about. Though, mostly the conservative, traditional public seen in the notched- collar a masculine attitude, in the shawl-collar more the touch of the female side. Of course, I think it is a consequence of the edgy, unadjusted impression, which fits more with the masculine standard. A smooth, shoft shape how we can see it in a shawl-collar will be allocated from conservatives to a female impression.
With this aknowledge, a intresting variation between some old habits of public is possible- when traditional designparts change the gender and tees will become blurred...
