THE ROLE
What it should do.
It makes a T-shirt, Oxford or knit feel intentional and gives jeans or trousers a clear upper frame.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
A natural or lightly padded shoulder
Enough body length to balance the trousers
Clean hardware and quiet branding
A cloth appropriate to the intended season
IN THE FITTING ROOM
Check the shoulder before the waist
Button it and look for pulling at the front
Sit, reach and drive in it before removing tags
