Basic technical jacket block - measurements
This block eliminates shoulder and armhole seams while maintaining arm
lift. This ´shell´ provides a basis for many variations in yoke
lines and the degree of arm lift, and elbow articulation, can be varied
according to the posture of the intended end use. The block is close fitting
and appropriate for two or three layer shell garments.
