Held at Heritage Quay at The University of Huddersfield. Attendees had the opportunity to inspect sample jackets, used as teaching tools, and gain hands-on understanding of traditional chest padding methods, including pad-stitching with canvas and felt, a technique famously used on Savile Row. Visitors explored the design aspects of tailoring, learning about various jacket components such as pockets, collars, darts, vents, and styling features like seam placement and panel shaping. The session also encouraged hands-on interaction with design resources, allowing participants to experiment and understand how key elements influence both fit and style.
