German tailor, trained in London, working in London and Scotland.

The dart is almost imperceptible as a result of the patch pocket and the pattern in the cloth. The ability to manipulate the front quarters was again given as the reason for this. It was the first time the tailor has ever done this with one of my coats but it seems to have solved one problem.

In what way does this manipulate the front quarters ?
I am still at a loss on this question.

I'd have (and like) to see a picture of the entire coat front to analyze what the tailor meant.

In either case, it's well done. Although I do think that it's less the manipulation of quarters in the sense of the shape of the front edges.

That is a very very beautiful coat. I know what i am looking at. Very beautiful. The front has to be dropped and it might be touching the shoulders ever so slightly. See how the collar lifts slightly away from the neck on the right.. It is on the right but just a wee on the left maybe..maybe.. Dropping the front may remedy this. See how the quarters are crossing ? But the coat is very very nice. I love the "idea" of this coat. I might square the right shoulder 1/4"
