So, after surfing the threads, here is what's going into my Jacket notes under "˜Sack Cut'.
Please be so kind as to weigh in with corrections;
Sack Cut:
Straight forward style:
SB, Natural shoulder lines with Minimal padding. No darting to pull the waist in. With the top button buttoned, the jacket hangs squarely and does not "˜V' or attempt to "˜fit' at the waist.
Traditional sacks are basic; 2, 2 1/2 or 3 button, single vent, notched lapels with patch / flap front pockets.
The sack cut can be used legitimately for anything from dressier suit jackets to heavy tweed sport coats, but the definition of the style favors the suit jacket.
More meticulous details would include edge stitching on the pockets, a hooked center vent, and lapped stitching on the jacket sleeves.
As a suit combination the traditional pants cut is also straight forward. Flat fronts (i.e., uncuffed) with no "˜remarkable' details.
(Brief historical notes to follow)
Does that about do it?
