What role does the diagonal press crease on the sleeves play when worn?
While reading the description of RECTO's single coat, I came across the phrase mentioning that a diagonal press detail was added to the sleeves. I wonder how it differs from typical coat sleeves and what kind of shape it creates.
It is a detail where the sleeve line is pressed at an angle to create creases, producing three-dimensional angles in the silhouette that falls along the arms and revealing structural lines.
When looking at the garment, the bend line at the sleeve catches the eye first. The diagonal press, ironed by pressing the sleeve at an angle, creates three-dimensional angles in the arm line that might otherwise fall flat[1]. Pressing is a process that applies heat and pressure to fix consistent lines or creases onto fabric.
The thick fabric also firmly supports this angled shape. RECTO used a 100% WOOL woolen twill material as the outer shell of this single-breasted coat[2][3][4]. The woolen fabric, which traps air between thick yarns, has a thick volume, keeping the shape of the ironed lines clear without collapsing. A sharp notched collar and natural horn buttons were attached to the front closure, neatly refining the exterior[5]. A handmade muffler crafted from the same fabric is included as a set[6].
hmmm, a single crease drawn diagonally on the sleeve creates sharp and structural lines across the entire heavy wool coat.
The specific size and finishing method of the handmade muffler included as a set with this coat have not yet been confirmed.
