Shoulder Slope

1. Explanation of Posture Setting
   
   The shoulder setting describes the height and slope of each shoulder individually. This affects how the sleeve and shoulder seam sit on the wearer, as well as the overall balance and drape of the garment. Differences between shoulders are common, and adjusting for them ensures a more natural and comfortable fit.
   
   
   

2. How to Determine
   
   

• Observe the customer from the front and side views.

• Note any difference in shoulder height or slope between the left and right side.

• Look at how garments sit on the shoulder: rippling, drooping, or tightness can indicate uneven slopes.

• Compare the customer in a fitted t-shirt and in a structured jacket to assess natural shoulder position.
  
  

3. Garments It Affects
   
   This setting affects jackets, shirts, and coats. Adjusting each shoulder individually ensures the shoulder seam aligns properly and sleeves hang symmetrically.
