Wouldn’t sleeve pitch be something you adjust after try on rather than pre plan? Fits at suit supply vary somewhat even within the same collection so I’m unsure how someone would adjust for the custom program. Has anyone tried it?In some ways, this is the crux of the SF paradox. To a tailoring layperson like me, the jacket’s fit looks darn good. A few alterations, like extending the sleeve length, are needed—and, with working button holes, the spacing will be a bit off. Otherwise, it looks great. But it may not be proper based on tailoring rules, which, granted, come from much experience and expertise.
Something I always wonder about: We see static images here, so can observe minute details. But the jacket’s real application will be dynamic. Will folks even have a chance to notice any of these issues? Obviously, if the fit is way off, it’ll be bad any way you cut it. But if it’s 80% of the way there ...
The custom program does allow for a change of the sleeve pitch.
