Is the open/closed quarter a consideration on double breasted jackets as well?Originally Posted by sho'nuff
I know the front skirt overlaps each other but if the front edge falls vertical to the body it is considered closed, and if it slants it is considered open?
Or
Is the 'open' quarter on a db just an incorrect fit?
The front edge should be perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. No exceptions or alternatives. When they are not, you have balance issues.

I like open quarters but not too open, and not too big a curve.Originally Posted by Parker

Sator posted some interesting pictures here.
thanks.
im not sure if it is just Isaia, but all my isaia coats are closed quarters. it may be just how it fits me but i dont believe that all Isaia V and S bases all come in closed quarters? these two fits are one of the most favorite fits here on sf, and it wouldnt be if they came only in closed quarters, thus, i think it is how it fits to each one that determines the closed or openness of a quarters.
