What’s the Difference Between Regular & Roomy Fits?

Body Fit:

• Regular Fit: Smaller through the shoulders, chest, and hips. Designed to fit over lighter tops, t-shirts, and tanks. Similar fit to the Smitten Jacket.
• Roomy Fit: Offers extra room through the body for easy layering without being oversized. Ideal for wearing over additional layers.

Back Design:

• Topstitched Back – Regular: Available in lengths 1 & 2.
• Topstitched Back – Roomy: Available in all lengths, providing more ease through the hips.
• Pleated Back - Available in all 3 lengths in both regular & roomy fit. The pleat provides extra room over the hip/seat.

Collar: Regular is slightly narrower, but both collars share the same neckline and can be used interchangeably on either fit.

Cuffs: Regular and Roomy cuffs differ slightly, but both fit either sleeve. Note that sleeve length will vary slightly depending on the cuff chosen.

2-Piece Sleeve Fit: The Roomy sleeve has a wider circumference but works with either body fit.

Short Sleeve: Regular Fit has a narrower top arm and hem measurement, but both short sleeves can be used with either fit.

Mix & Match: Most pattern pieces (sleeves, cuffs, collar, pockets, placket interfacing, and button template) are interchangeable between the Regular and Roomy fits. The body (front, back, yoke) should not be mixed between fits.
