JACKET WELT

I hope to develop some notes on the Welt pocket as used in jackets

The Welt Pocket is an important pocket for the jacket. And its pocket placement is important; The pocket is a line. It is an insertion point where you go inside the outer fabric. And the pocket line must be marked in such a way so that people know that here is a pocket. A jacket is not a 'fabric covering' for the body. Fit is important as a jacket is a fitted garment. There is a certain amount of fit around the throat and neck area. Then there is some fit around the breakline area; Another area is how the breakline which is the straight line which lies on one side of the lapel and the collar 'goes' into the center front line. Still the pockets also create some elements of 'fit' and pockets are important in this way. And the welt is one of these pockets. These are not specific tailoring notes but they are notes re: jackets and their creation.
