The Philosophy of Fit
Before fabric, before silhouette — there is fit. Silent, but exacting.
A garment can be made of the finest cloth in the world and still fail a man if it sits wrong on the shoulder. Fit is the part of tailoring no one notices when it is right and everyone notices when it is wrong.
We begin with the shoulder line and the collar, because these two govern how a jacket follows the body when it moves. From there, balance: the front and back hanging in agreement, the lapel rolling to a soft point rather than a crease.
Made-to-measure exists for exactly this reason. A pattern cut to your own proportions, kept on file, refined over fittings — so the next jacket is better than the last.
