Difficult Fit · Athletic Build
Room where you need it, shape where you want it — a garment made for the way you move.
Your Proportions, Not a Size Chart
Standard Sizes, Individual Proportions
Training changes proportions. A developed chest, back, shoulders, arms, or thighs rarely follows a standard size chart, which is built around average proportions.
The result is a familiar mismatch between the size on the label and the body wearing it. It is a sizing problem, not a body problem.
Our Tailoring Philosophy
The garment should fit the person.
The person should not have to fit the garment.
Master Tailor Jin Lee
An athletic build is not something to hide or to squeeze into a standard pattern. Balance, proportion, posture, comfort, and movement are considered for the individual, so the garment follows the body instead of fighting it.
The Master Tailor Approach
Every athletic client is different. The approach begins with you, not with a size.
A conversation about how and where the garment will be worn, and how you need to move in it.
A detailed set of measurements, taken personally.
Observation of your posture and proportions, so the garment can be balanced for your body.
Guidance on cut, cloth, and details chosen to work with your proportions.
A fitting to refine balance, comfort, and movement before the garment is finished.
