I read and hear lots about the wonders of a high armhole in shirts and jackets. I understand that it allows for freedom of movement, the fact that the body doesn't move up when I reach high, etc.
I don't find much if anything at all about the downsides of a high armhole. THe only thing was in the Parisian Gentlemen about how a high armhole restricts downward movement, such as when bending down to tie shoelaces.
What I'm looking for is a balanced and knowledgeable analysis of armhole size: high vs medium vs low. In getting custom clothing, my #1 priority is comfort, #2 is looking good. No point in looking good if the cloth is pulling on my body and I don't feel good.
If people can share their experiences with high armhole shirts and jackets, especially comfort-wise, that'd be great. Thank you very much
