This is a brief explanation of relative length and shortness. When sewing with multiple layers and specific to bespoke tailoring with handsewn canvases the relative lengths are important to making cloth smooth and ensuring garments come out as intended with the best fit possible. Understanding the relative lengths helps to learn and understand, because when I or a tailor might describe something to you as long or short we might not be talking about what you think. Also watch Richie Charlton's video on canvassing a jacket. He talks about relative length in context and is an informative video. I’m glad I’ve been procrastinating mine, so that I can reference his here. Except I did record this and mostly make it before he had made his. 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.
