Sharkskin is a twill weave fabric created using acetate, rayon, worsted wool, lycra, and other fibers. The arrangement of darker and brighter threads in a the weave creates a subtle pattern of lines that run across the fabric diagonally and a two tone, lustrous appearance. Primarily a suiting material. JACKET *Two exterior flap pockets right one has hidden ticket, coin, watch pocket *Two interior pockets *4 buttons on the sleeves. *no boutonniere * Light padding structured shoulder This Is the Most Crucial Part of a Suit, According to Tailoring Experts: "The secret to a beautiful (and perfectly tailored) suit is all in the shoulders. ...of the many elements that go into making a suit look the way it does, nothing (even the lapels) has more impact than the shoulders. If youve ever seen someone and thought, 'Damn, thats a nice suit', most of what youre noticing comes down to the invisible architecture of a well-crafted shoulder." By Jeremy Freed When you look at someone in a jacket, your eyes are first drawn to the shoulders, says Jake Mueser, the founder of J. Mueser Bespoke in NYC. You can show someone with the same lapel shape but with different shoulders and the appearance will be massively different. The reason for this, Mueser explains, has to do with the way a jackets shoulders are constructed through layers of internal padding to accentuate or embellish the shape of the wearers body and, in so doing, give the suit its overall vibe. The shape and the width of the shoulder is what really communicates a physical presence, adds Mark Cho, co-founder of famed Hong Kong tailoring shop The Armoury. It helps to frame the head in the same way the right pair of glasses frames the face.
