Lapels on Blazers
Let's talk about lapels on blazers.
There are three main types of lapels. A notch lapel, a peak lapel, and a shawl lapel (almost exclusively for tuxedos). When I was working for a men's customized suit, I learned that there are a lot more than those three, various names of lapels. But those three are the pretty common design you can see everywhere.
I have videos that explain how to draft lapels. It's the same for men and women. Click below to watch the video. Enjoy!
