I drafted the pattern for TG#4 with armholes about 2 cm lower than my armpit. With its half inch seam allowance, the armhole always felt tight. I enlarged the armhole by lowering it in quarter inch steps. By about the third iteration, the jacket had a quantum leap in comfort. The armholes of my shirt were no longer catching on the jacket’s armholes. The jacket felt so much more comfortable to wear.
Next on the to-do list is to transfer the shoulder width from another jacket of mine to TG#4. With the shoulder width determined, I will then try to chalk a harmonious armscye.
