How a Sportcoat Should Fit

How a Sportcoat Should Fit

In this video I review the final fit of customer Alex Kosene's Wool & Cashmere Glenlaid Jacket (part of his Timeless Gentleman Capsule).

Below the video you will also find his original fitting photos (wearing his AOS fitting garments) along with some notes describing the fit adjustments we made for the final garments.

Watch it here: 


ALEX'S FITTING JACKET

Alex's fitting jacket already fit quite well.

The main adjustments we did were sloping the shoulders (to clean up the "crahing" at the sides of his midsection) especially on the right side, as he is lower on the right. This also cleans up the sleeve heads (see dimples at shulders on profile views).

We also lowered the back collar, shorteneed the sleeves, took in the front chest and tapered. the hips.
