Room for a watch
The block is drafted, with a carrier for a ribbed storm cuff inside the sleeve. I've asked for another 2.5cm on the rib so it doesn't fight with a watch.
Two jackets
We measured two quilted jackets side by side today. One is labelled XS and fits more like a Medium, so we're working from the other's measurements, apart from the front placket. And sharp corners, not rounded ones.
One block
I've sent my pattern cutter drawings for four lighter jackets: a Harrington, a coach jacket, a flight jacket and a quilted jacket. All four are built on the same block.
