Front Shoulder slope, 2 1/2" or 2 1/4"? Coat notes vs video

awesome, thanks bro

Both technically.

What we are aiming for here is the average shoulder slope.

Some say the average shoulder angle is 2 1/4" and others say 2 1/2".

But that all depends on what you think the average chest is.

If I thought the average chest of my clients was 44, I would have an average shoulder angle of 2 1/2.

But

If I thought the average chest of my client was 40, then the shoulder angle would be 2 1/4".

We add a 1/4" to the angle for every 1" of width we add to the shoulder.

So , as a shoulder gets longer, it does not get squarer on the draft.

Add a 1/2" to this angle, and you have the back shoulder angle.
