The London Lounge

Dear Uppercase,

Generally, I like it very much - very nice cloth - what is it?

The shoulders are done nicely. Perhaps I would have preferred the lapels a tiny bit wider and the quarters an equal tiny bit more open - but this is personal preference, no criticism.

The back requires a little fix. There is too much drape under the shoulders, nothing dramatic and easy to fix. Now there are defenders of the drape cut who insist that they need this amount of cloth for movement. I am very much into drape, but in my opinion and for my taste, this is too much and requires some needle work.

I would like to see the left arm sleeve from the side. It doesn't look very nice on the picture, but it might have to do with the pose?

Cheers, David

Agree with David's critique. Looks great from the front, but back (and possibly left sleeve) need a little work.

Also agree with David. The jacket looks great from the front and a bit loose from the back. I particularly like the one-button stance in the right place.
One point that calls my attention is (the picture does not allow for a better judgement) that as seen from the back, the arm openings might be too big and placed too low. Maybe is just the extra fold of cloth that gives that impression.
And if you want to open the front quarters a bit more adding more flair, be sure to wear long rise trousers.

And this...?

Dear Uppercase,

very similar issue in the back, which is less visible with the second cloth. But as said, this should be an easy one to fix.

A part from that, very nice job.

Cheers, David

Sleeves on the second one look long. If the torso is cinched up a bit that might be less of a problem, but it is worth deciding where you want the cuffs to end.

Dear UC, once again, I agree with David and Concordia.
I love the way the pattern matching was played.
You have a very good cutter, so I suspect that there must be a special reason why the jacket and sleeves bunch a bit at the back.
