Hello Reza, thank you for your wonderful teaching videos, I found them because I was looking for videos on how to make a waistcoat. I have watched many of them and I am learning so much, your teaching is wonderfully clear, you take the necessary time to explain and show how and I truly enjoy your way of teaching, it is very enjoyable and encouraging.
I am set on making a waistcoat for my son who loves wearing them, I guess for tailoring a waistcoat a ham will also be useful or even necessary? If so, should I prefer the arm shaped ham?
I will be making the waistcoat in the weeks to come and I would have liked to find lessons for that on the International Tailoring School website. I hope there will be more videos to come as I would like to learn how to tailor lovely waistcoats and trousers.

Hello Francine.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm very happy that you have found our channel and are benefiting from it.
At the moment, we don't have any videos on how to make a waist-coat or trousers. Our focus is currently on jackets.
I do recommend a ham for any tailored garment. Our long ham is very useful for nearly all garments.
You can find our ham patterns here:

Thank you Gerry, I will look these up.
You're probably aware of it, but just in case you're not, Rory Duffy has a pay-for series on waistcoat making. I rented it and made notes. Very good, lots of explanation.
