Double welt hip pocket sample | Guide to a Bespoke Suit

This is one of many methods of sewing a trouser hip pocket. This is the method I generally use, but when it comes to making trousers you could use your preferred way. If you’re looking to learn tailoring then I’d recommend trying this method because I use a lot of techniques here that I may not fully explain in subsequent guides. Similarly this guide comes after the previous sample and my introduction to tailoring guides. You can find a written and illustrated version of this guide and others at tailorsperks dot co dot uk. https://tailorsperks.co.uk/introduction-to-bespoke-tailoring/ If this is the first of my guides you’re seeing I am a training tailor making guides to as many parts of bespoke tailoring as I can for you to learn as well. I suggest referencing earlier content to better frame what I might do differently. There are fewer bespoke resources and it’s a different process to production garment making.
