What difference does it make when wearing a jacket that does not have shoulder pads?
When thinking of a neat tailored jacket, reading a description that the pads have been removed makes it hard to gauge how the silhouette will fall. It makes one wonder what kind of fit was intended instead of a stiff shape.

Without artificially propping up the shoulder line, it falls smoothly along the wearer's shoulders, draping comfortably like a cardigan while maintaining a neat jacket shape.
While ordinary tailored jackets use stiff shoulder pads to create sharp angles, Low Tide's WRINKLE POCKET JACKET has no shoulder pads[1]. The shoulder line does not become rigidly stiff. When pads are omitted, the raised ends of the shoulders settle down and flow smoothly along the wearer's actual body shape. The tension of formal wear softens, and body movement becomes much more comfortable.
This relaxed shoulder approach extends to other details as well. Instead of formal-style pockets hidden on the inside, it features patch pockets sewn onto the outside surface, imparting a casual impression[2]. The front closure buttons also use self-fabric covered buttons wrapped in the same fabric as the garment, rather than conspicuous trims[3]. Coupled with a one-button design that fastens lightly with a single button, it reduces the weight of formal attire[4].
hmmm, omitting the rigid structure and aligning pockets and buttons with the texture of the fabric is close to treating the jacket as comfortable daily wear rather than stiff outdoor attire.
The sewing finish method of the inner shoulder area where shoulder pads were omitted and the presence or absence of a lining have not yet been confirmed.
