Dont let them tell you otherwise...

Sizing Matters.

It the single most important factor in men's and children's tailored clothing as well and its so often done incorrectly.  It will take an otherwise perfectly planned ensemble and destroy it.

Granted, for men's people are less reluctant to sacrifice correct size considering that the useful shelf life on a man's suit can be as long as the suit lasts however with kids clothing, people like to try to squeeze a few seasons out of the item and the results are borderline if not completely ridiculous.

Here is an example that I pulled off a "competitors" website.

Note the shoulders coming off the kids frame and the lapels that go down to the kids belly button. Furthermore the torso of the jacket extends halfway between the thigh and the knee.  It doesnt look good opened and pulled back, and when buttons or hanging closed it will look dreadful.



Don't wast your money on an item thats two sizes too big because you will lose the entire effect that you are going for.  Unless of course you are going for that unemployed unkempt "I can get away with wearing my Dad's Jacket" look, but after having spent between 250 to 400 for the jacket alone, we highly doubt you are.
