No chest piece, no sleeve head, no wadding, no shoulder pad, mother of pearl buttons.  Whereas more structured shoulders have the sleeve seam allowances opened or turned toward the sleeve, in this case, like a shirt, the seam allowance is turned toward the body and pick stitched in place.  By hand, of course.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/39673164@N07\/3955430319\/\" title=\"soft2 by Jeffery photos, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2437\/3955430319_0224cec81c.jpg?resize=330%2C500\" width=\"330\" height=\"500\" alt=\"soft2\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Inside, not much else, either.

In response to malwae&#8217;s question, here is a close-up, but you don&#8217;t see much; the stitching should be subtle and the colouration is such that it is hard to see anything. However, the ridge formed by the reversed seam allowance is visible.  Not much to see on the inside.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/39673164@N07\/3959101717\/\" title=\"sa by Jeffery photos, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3018\/3959101717_83afb6f805.jpg?resize=349%2C500\" width=\"349\" height=\"500\" alt=\"sa\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/39673164@N07\/3959874758\/\" title=\"inside by Jeffery photos, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2484\/3959874758_b43824c7db.jpg?resize=362%2C500\" width=\"362\" height=\"500\" alt=\"inside\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As for Jordan&#8217;s question about the breakpoint, the collar is what controls where the lapel will break.  The chest piece, bridle tape and pressing may help to support it, but the collar must be on right for it to break in the right spot; that&#8217;s why the forumites&#8217; experiments with &#8220;re-rolling&#8221; button-3 jackets into button-2 or 3-roll-2 are ill-advised- you really need to alter the collar to get the lapel to consistently roll to a different point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now that I&#8217;m done the jacket, I should really shorten those shirt sleeves&#8230;.
