Ever wondered how to properly prepare a suit lapel and jacket facing? Watch to see how to do it!

In this video, I reinforce my lapels and attach the facings to the jacket fronts. This was almost exclusively a hand-sewing job – about which I have no complaints! Hand-sewing allows a very useful degree of control when manipulating the fabric pieces to take on a certain shape, so don't be shy to lean into it if you haven't before.
