Master Class: A Notch Above
Get perfect, bulk-free lapels by mastering the pivot point first
by Kenneth D. King

Noted designer, author, and educator Kenneth D. King shares his tricks for mastering a perfect notched lapel. Notched lapels are one of the hallmarks of good tailoring, and there's no reason to consider them impossible. It all starts with the pivot point -- on the inside corner where all of the collar and body pieces join.
