But how can that be on a supposed full canvas SuitSupply jacket that I picked up from the store today. It has never been worn other than testing. They tried to re-press the lapel because I wanted an earlier break, could they have somehow fucked it up with steam?Looks like you said.
It certainly is fully canvassed, it’s a half lined jacket so I can easily peek inside.Why not open it up and see if it truly is canvas'ed?. Snip the lining free at the bottom for a couple of inches, enough to get your hand in, reach up and feel for canvas.
Or, after snipping, shine a pen light in to look. A fully canvas'ed jacket will have the canvas go straight to the bottom.
A line of tape you say? Then I really don’t understand why they would call this lapel 3r2,5 when it’s a 3r2, if it’s as easy as tape.
- You cant change the break on a lapel. A line of tape establishes the lapel line, so any pressing is only going to have a minor impact, probably for the worse.
- Many half and full canvas jackets will also have some fusible material in the chest. Sometimes its to stabilize very lightweight cloth, sometimes for other reasons.
- It appears that this jacket just needs a proper pressing and will be fine.
You can’t change the break once set, or I’ve never seen it done where it wasn’t apparent.But how can that be on a supposed full canvas SuitSupply jacket that I picked up from the store today.
