    Fall 2025 Outerwear Updates

    This Fall we will be launch several fit updates for Outerwear Jackets, Suiting and Fashion vest and the relaxed Chino. In the following short presentation I will cover each of these updates.

    Outwear Profiles

    When creating a new client T.A.P.E. automatically creates and outwear vest profile. We recommend confirming your clients specific vest preferences using the product fit quiz.

    Outerwear Vest Profile

    Profile based on Client preference.

    Vest Length Tool Tip

    Utilize tool tip to confirm vest length.

    Tailored Outwear is designed to easily coordinate with the fit our your Client’s favorite sportcoat. For all the details follow the link bellow.

    Tailored Outerwear Profile

    An outwear raincoat/ Mac profile is automatically created for a new client. Utilize the product fit quiz to customize your Client’s raincoat preference. 

    Raincoat Fit Quiz

    When entering a new Client, T.A.P.E. automatically creates an Outwear jacket group 1 profile.  Group 1 is used to order the Field Jacket, Hybrid Utility Jacket, Puffer, Town Jacket, Bomber Jacket, and Trucker Jacket. Group 1 styles have a straighter fit. They do not include any sleeve or waist/hip adjustments.

    Outerwear Jacket Group 1 Fit Quiz

    Outerwear Jacket Profile

    Depending on Client fit preference the chest size of his outerwear jacket may be larger than his core measurement. Sleeve Outseam will always be 0.50″ shorter than the core measurement sleeve length.

    Tool Tip

    Utilize the length toll tip to compare finished length measurements on all styles. 

    Outerwear Group 2 is used for Hybrid Blazer, Vest Front Blazer, Quilted Shirt jacket, Stand Collar Hybrid Blazer, Convertible Quilted Blazer. All styles supported by this profile are available with three sleeve fits and a waist/hip adjustment.

    When placing an order for one of the styles in Group 2, the stylist will be prompted to create a new profile. There are two Preference questions to confirm your client’s length preference and his layering preference, either over a heavy sweater or over a shirt.

    Next TAPE will create your client’s profile recommendation. At the top, you will see the chest measurement, which is the ordered jacket measurement. Next is the waist/hip adjustment for the shirt jacket group and the Blazer group. Since these two jacket groups are shaped differently, the recommendation for the waist/hip adjustment may not be the same. Each recommendation is calculated differently based on the corresponding pattern and intended fit of each style.

    Sleeve Fit is also calculated independently for shirt jackets and blazers and may vary for each group.  

    Tooltips are provided for all finished measurements.
