DART SHOULDER JACKET

Type 980 Dart Shoulder Jacket
A dart is a closed pleat, used to take shape out of a fabric panel without
cutting a seam. To shape and stiffen the shoulders, the fronts and
backs of the Dart Shoulder Jacket are cut in a single, straight, piece,
which is darted at an angle where a shoulder seam normally would
be. The dart is pressed open on the inside of the coat, and topstitched
either side, making a thicker section which supports the
sleeve and collar, giving the coat a subtly tailored shape. Likewise, the
back seam is cut with a wide inlay, which is pressed open and topstitched
parallel to the seam, accenting the line of the back.
Previously made with folded-back bucket pockets, this version of the
Dart Shoulder Jacket has riveted patch pockets and buttoned cuffs.
