That's awesome. I didn't know how that actually worked. It's like science and art.

I remember when Greg first started out, he was really happy to have sourced a good outfit to do this as well. It never occurred to me that there would be more to it than just adding or subtracting a percentage to each measurement, but it makes sense. I’m sure it’s as much art as science. And fascinating!

When I was a kid, my mom would make some of the family clothes. There was a magazine back then released monthly with different designs and the patterns for different sizes:

As you can see, the variance is not an exact consistent percentage across all dimensions.

I would say any kind of pattern tuning to an individual was easy as she could just call for us as she was making it, as we would try the WIP garment and she would measure if she had to add or remove a cm.

New Schott 673 small vs Schott 673 storm in medium which one do you guys think fits and looks better? View attachment 727487 View attachment 727488 View attachment 727489 View attachment 727490 View attachment 727493 View attachment 727492
First off, very impressive set of fit photos/comparison photos here. You did these very well.

I like the darker jacket on the Left side here. Not just for fit, but also for color and pattern. The color matches your boots (bottom picture) and the whole jacket just seems to "fit" you there. The lighter one just isn't quite as interesting at least to me. Others may have a completely different perspective! :)

Early Saturday morning downtown for the farmers market.

Temps are slowly dropping, but I still don’t feel like black leather. Y2/The Shop Steerhide. Soft, thick and luscious.

Also, Wesco Morrison boots for the first time after the shafts ate away half my shins. Now taped up.
