Thank you so much. I'm grateful. The neck measurement, is it a standard for every suit drafting?

Hello miriam, not really.
Width 3.5 works for most measurements. But to get a precise back neck width, divide the client’s neck circumference by 5, then every other thing remains the same

Hi Mr Vinci. Thank you. And I must say God bless you. Now my question: please try as much as possible to is a marker for us to see clearly. It's very hard to see the lines. We would be grateful. About the lapel, if it is not a peaked lapel, how do we go about it? Kindly help? Thank you

Hi Mr Vinci, there is no notched lapel tutorial, that is why I asked. I can only see a shawl. And a double breasted. These are the only classic suit tutorial I see on here. Thanknyou. You are amazing thank you

Aside from the overlapping, is there anything else that makes the double-breasted different from the single-breasted suit?

What should be the ideal difference between chest and tummy?

My client's tummy is kinda protruded and the tummy is almost the same as the chest. So, I am not getting the expected shape.
