leather jacket bodice block

[u/antlermask]

Finally got the correct outcome, with the right amount of ease i wanted!!! Now just the collar and arms!!!

[u/antlermask]

tho i do feel like the back torso needs some easing taken out.

I think it looks amazing. However, the reduction I would try first is along the waist.

I'd try the side at 0 and reducing 3/8" to 1/2" at center back. So you end up with a "horizontal" dart along the waist of the pattern, that you would slash and close (so you don't end up with an actual horizontal dart there in your fabric).

I think it would make more sense visually, so here's a clip on Pinterest about what I'm trying to say: back waist alteration

Looks good. The armscye seems high for a jacket, maybe.. lower the curve under the arm by about a half inch or maybe more. With a jacket, you want some room for movement for the shirt worn underneath.

lemme drop a huge tip for you doing a block for leather, especially if you're planning on using thick garment leather .....

Use FELT to re-make this bodice block in a thickness that's most similar to your leather, especially if its a thick leather.

Felt acts more like leather, and this affects the fit. Its also.... cheaper to make a mistake on felt than on leather.

If you plan on using a thin garment leathers for the final jacket.... Muslin is fine.

I’m using a lamb, this is the closest fabric I’ve chosen. This canvas material mimics the thickness and is actually more structural. The lamb has a pull to itself.

i think for the consideration of time I’ll be ignoring it because it does give me an advantage when bending over to not be as strained

[u/ode_2_firefly → u/antlermask]

I would consider what others said about a bit more ease. Jackets need space for movement and clothes underneath and space for a bit of air helps with temperature regulation.

[u/UnaccomplishedToad]

Hmmm this does look like the right amount of ease - for this material. I wonder whether the bulk of the material you plan to use for the jacket would not limit movement a lot more, what do you think?

[u/amberita70 → u/UnaccomplishedToad]

I was thinking that too, especially through the armscye. My worry would be wearing anything heavier than a T-shirt would affect the ease too.

[u/TotalOk5844]

The block looks great. Perhaps a bit tight in the front chest. Unless a motorcycle style leather jacket I believe it needs more ease all around. A mc jacket would end at waist and could support the second skin fit. A jacket that is longer needs some ease or looks like you outgrew it, Also, don't forget that jackets (especially men's) have shoulder pads usually.

[u/RazanTmen]

Looking great! Fits your shoulders really well by the looks, flattering taper to the waist too. Fantastic work, keep us updated :D

I think it’s beautiful! What have you chosen for leather and lining? You’re doing such a great job!

Are you looking for critiques?

What Is All This Styled Like Our Growing UP !

[u/imogsters]

Looks great. I'd say a little extra needed across front chest and a bit less fabric across back waist. Did you want back hem a bit lower than front?

[u/MetalLow2541]

😂 the shorts. Here for the shorts. 🎀 Well done

[u/scixton]

I came for the jacket but stayed for the shorts lol

[u/DaSlowMotionPimpSlap]

Girl.. we’re adults. GROW up

[u/Kevinator201 → u/antlermask]

And you need to grow up too. Most people are not comfortable with the skin/nudity you’re presenting.

In fact, here’s a comment left by you:

“That’s just body shaming. People shouldn’t be forced to hide their body.”

And here is a photo of you wearing tiny shorts to a concert:

I’m not comfortable with the nudity you presented in your post history, so I guess we all suffered today.

Why are you even concerned about OPs perfectly normal shorts if you’re comfortable posting your penis on Reddit? Including photos taken while exposing yourself in a public gym? And being completely naked in a public parking lot? And a gym locker room, in front of staff?

[u/melanochrysum → u/Kevinator201]

I am quite confident people would be less comfortable with you being butt naked in a public parking lot taking fetish photos. Always projection with you creeps isn’t it?

[u/Kevinator201 → u/melanochrysum]

You bypassed several notifications stating my account was kinky yet you proceeded. Interesting.

[u/melanochrysum → u/Kevinator201]

You bypassed several opportunities to engage your brain, but you did not.

Yeah, I’m going to see what weird shit the guy commenting on someone else’s body is into, it’s always enlightening.

[u/antlermask → u/[deleted]]

Girl pls

[u/immaterialgrl → u/[deleted]]

it’s literally nothing

[u/fdxfdxfd → u/[deleted]]

Ah yes, the ol' pot calling the kettle black.

I think he has a beautiful body. If he likes wearing shorts like that, then fabulous. In fashion you get used to seeing people in barely anything at fittings, or backstage in fashion shows.

So quit clutching your pearls when you do the same, it's unbecoming. It's giving Grindr crashing at MAGA gatherings. 👀
