FIT LIBRARY · PROPORTION

Tall and slim,
drafted properly.

Sizes fit the width and never the length.

Short answer

Every length drafted separately — body, sleeve, rise, hem — from your measures.

Why it happens

Long sizes add length everywhere, rarely in the right places.

Why ready-to-wear cannot fix it

Size charts grade uniformly; tall and slim is a personal geometry. A block adjusted in one place pulls in another — which is why the correction must exist in the pattern, not in the fitting-room mirror.

How the house drafts for it

Every length drafted separately — body, sleeve, rise, hem — from your measures. The correction is recorded in your Fit Passport, so every later commission starts from it automatically.

Where it matters most

This correction carries most for: suit, shirt, overcoat. It is reviewed at every fitting, in every city, for every garment.
