Abstract

This NebGuide provides methods for finishing the hems on jackets and coats, with attention to back vents, front facings, and eliminating bulk from the hem.

An inconspicuous hem is a mark of quality construction. A properly finished hem in a tailored garment helps to achieve a professional look and adds the final touch.
