I am of the latter school.  The photo above is a jacket by Paul Smith; he has some extremely clever people working for him.  Notice how the plaid of the sleeve matches the plaid of the jacket (well, the right is a little off)?  This is the first time I have ever sen this.  Is it a fluke?  Can it be reproduced?  I can reliably match the sleeve to the front every time, so is it possible to do the same on the back?  I have been puzzling over this for a while.  Once conclusion that I have come to is that so long as I have the little &#8220;wedge&#8221; where I make the front pocket (is there a real name for that wedge?) I will not be able to balance the sleeve plaid on the back.  When my laptop is feeling better and I get Illustrator back, I will post a draft explaining what I mean.  I think I am on to something, but to do it I have to eliminate that little wedge and I think that might cause the lower front to kick out a bit so I am hesitant; I have never had much success without it.  Does anyone have any thoughts on the matter?  Does anyone even care?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some tailors are not so concerned with matching patterns while others are obsessed by it. I am of the latter school.
