Picked up a vintage ysl homme jacket for 5eu, was super bummed when I found out it had huge padding when I put it on back at home. This vid helped me remove them, fits great now! Cheers!!
I’ve pulled shoulder padding out of 3 or 4 leather jackets now, very satisfying to see it fit better. I’ve seen them glued on with foam but usually pulled through some type of loop and stitched down in two places.
Thank you so much for the video. The shoulder pads in my blazers do make them feel a little dated, so I plan to drop them off the my local tailor to have them removed.
Timex Q Rose Gold? My man. I got the same watch and as much as I dislike the size, I find it very comfortable and has become my go to watch. Also, it gets the most views and questions for the color. :D
Top notch quality, by far the most the instructional and professional tailor I’ve seen so far on TH-cam. Do you think you could do a video on: 1) removing the collar roll from a suit jacket 2) shortening the coat sleeves that have surgeon cuffs from the shoulder 3) ~ alterations that could help alleviate collar gap? I know the general consensus is to size up, but if there are any known alterations to deal with a very slight collar gap?
When I take out the should pad, the shoulder and sleeve cap area still appears too big (it was cut originally for the pad to be included). What do I have to know about cutting down the market shoulder and sleeve cap in order for the excess fabric to "disappear"?
@@mareenalewis4241 This video was my reference when I needed to take the shoulder pads out of a Zara blazer! It looks great now. I think shoulder pads can be useful if you have narrow shoulders though.
To be fair, the point of a coat is that it simplifies the lines of one's figure, accentuates positive features, and hides negative features. Having any pad in has two core benefits. The first benefit falls under that category of simplifying the body into clear lines. Even the thinnest of pads will mold to the form on one's shoulder, this is crucial in hiding areas that stab out, such as the various peaks and troughs created by areas such as the collar bone. By inserting even a very thin pad, you can still have that natural look without any excessive added shoulder heft. The second benefit, and the more obvious one, goes under the accentuating positive features, in this case providing a visual extension in height and width to the shoulder.
IT's definitely better without the pad. It's sad that many RTW and MTM (that are not italian inspired, surprisingly suit supply is not guilty of that) put in thick shoulder pads that dont conform well to the wearers shoulder and without surprise create shoulder divots and the sleevehead doent drape well. That being said, while in this example it looks better without the pad, the difference isnt night and day because 1) as you said the pad was thin to begin with and 2) it seems like a heavy cloth (some sort of flannel or tweed) so it'll drape well over the shoulder line, with or without the pad. IMO most people don't need shoulder pads, or maybe minimal padding to achieve a cleaner or more symmetric line. Only those with extreme sloping of the shoulders or major asymmetry truly benefit from padding.
Great video, I appreciate the 1st person perspective in your videos. It makes it easier to replicate at home.
Glad you liked it!
Your video was exactly what I needed. Bought a beautiful secondhand Emanuel Ungaro blazer and I wanted to remove the shoulder pads. Thanks!
Wonderful!

That jacket for FOUR DOLLARS is the find of the century 👏

Thank you for this video, it was very helpful for the snazzy coat I thrifted. Very appreciated :)
Glad it was helpful!

Good eye! It’s definitely become my daily wearer and same people are always taken back by the cool color.
This is a really useful video. Could you do one for adjusting a vintage overcoat?
I like the lived in look. I just found a vintage Ferragamo blazer and need to remove the pads.
Thank you, I don't like shoulder pads, and I have a really nice blazer I'm trying this on.
Nice job on that Italian shoulder. It's not a "spella Camicia", but it's still very nice! I'm going to try it!
Thanks
Once more good good information this channel is just one cool channel and so so helpful this Channel has help me so much l look forward to your video
Super helpful. Exactly the video I was looking for. Subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Great video as allways!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Great professional video!! 👏👏
I really wish they’d stop making blazers with shoulder pads 😑
Yes! Zara still puts them in! Zara, the 90s are gone!🤦♀️

Or sew them outside of the lining so it's easier to remove
And here I am wishing for people to put shoulder pads back
Does the arm sleeve lenght change by removing the shoulder pads ?
Thank you for the instructional video. Much better without the pads, softer look.
Will removing the shoulder pads affect how it gets dry cleaned? Will it loose it’s “structure” in that area?
Thank you sir. Appreciate the video. Liked and subscribed
Is it feasible to do the opposite? - To add shoulder pads to a garment to add structure/ bulk.
Hello Does shoulder pads affects divot?
I have a wedding to go to and bought a black suit.. I'm medium build with broad shoulders. Should I take the padding out of the jacket?
hi ive got a vintage raglan coat and the shoulder pads are moderately thick. Would removing them leave tons of excess fabric?
Thank you, this was really helpful!!
Is it possible to alter dress pants from 38 to 30 waist? My son has a great jacket but the only suit pants left were huge. Can u make a video on this?
Let me look into that. Off that bat that seems like too much but we’ll see what we can do.
Thank you so much!
Thank you!!!
Nice video, thank you!!
Love shoulder pads.
I workout so my shoulders don’t need the padding and taking a size bigger just looks more ridiculous. So I’ll be removing the shoulder pads in future.
Nice!
Do you have a video how to change lining by hand stitching ?
What about a fur coat?
If it has shoulder pads its the same prosess

I do not recommend doing this at all. It will not make it look or feel better and you risk destroying the coat.
I think I ruined my jacket, it's now Unfixable😅
Nothin to it!
Just saved a vintage leather blazer that was making me look like a roblox character 😭
Nope still like the pads better
..some people need the pads especially if they have coke bottle shoulders
Louis I think you're very handsome, will you marry me?
Thanks for the compliment but I’ll have to decline
@@AspiringGent what about me?
sorry, but no thanks .
@@AspiringGent proceeds to reject everyone what a chad
Looks the same
Why did you keep the part of pad on the top of the sleeve? What you didn’t remove it ?
