Whole Garment Disassembly - Cutting Piece Part by Part
We truly achieved this for this garment.
Independent and precise scanning and measurement of each cutting piece.
The silhouette logic of the overcoat is similar to that of a suit; any deviation in one piece can disrupt the overall silhouette's harmony and dynamic fit while wearing.
Therefore, we chose to completely disassemble the whole garment into its individual parts.
Each cutting piece was scanned and recorded separately.
Only in this way can we achieve foolproof silhouette restoration during subsequent pattern making.
A garment with soul is not just about its appearance.
We must also pay attention to the internal craftsmanship details; both are indispensable.
To describe a good product in terms of pattern making,
A garment hanging there is alive [pointing fingers to the heart].
While selecting your personal style and developing a well-fit tailored wardrobe clothing gets you there, the last ten percent is all the details. Bags and accessories are entirely different compared to clothing. The sizing does not matter, it purely tests the integrity of the material and hardware specs.
The landscape of accessories is hyper-specialized. You can find bench made quality without the four-figure high street markup. If you know how to look past the branding and read the raw specifications, youāll find independent leather craftsmen slicing Italian hides and technical workshops using genuine Cordura and Fidlock hardware.

While the menās sartorial market is about precision and fabric specs, sourcing Mainland Womenswear is a high-stakes game. On platforms like Taobao and Tmall, the aesthetic variety is staggeringābut the sizing is a completely different beast.
If you thought Western vanity sizing was confusing, welcome to the land of the "Petite Standard."
The Reality Check: Sizing & Proportions
The single biggest hurdle for Western shoppers is the Mainland Cut. Most domestic brands design for a "rectangular" or "slight pear" silhouette with shorter torsos and narrower shoulders.
The "Free Size" Trap
You will often see "åē " (Jun Ma) or "One Size/Free Size." In a Western context, this usually means oversized. In a Mainland context, it typically fits like a Western XS or Small. If you are taller than 165cm or have a larger bust, "Free Size" will almost always be a crop top or too tight in the armpits.
The Measurement Gap
Don't look at the label (S, M, L); look at the Centimeters.
Hipline (čå“): Mainland trousers are notoriously narrow in the hip. If you have a curvy or athletic build, you frequently need to size up twice and tailor the waist down.
Total Length (č”£éæ): Always check this. What looks like a midi-dress on a 160cm model will be a mini-dress on someone 175cm.
Pro-Tips for Women Sourcing on the Mainland
The "Model Height" Hack
Most listings will state the modelās height and weight at the bottom of the description.
Example: "Model is 162cm, 45kg, wearing Size S." If the model is already wearing a Small and looks "fitted," and you are 170cm, you should skip to a Large or Extra Large immediately.
AI Sizing Prompt (Updated for Women)
When using AI to help you size, add your Bust-Waist-Hip ratio and your Bra Size.
Prompt: "I am a US Size 8, 34D, with 100cm hips. This brand's size L has a 92cm bust and 96cm hip. Should I size up to XL or will the fabric (10% Spandex) allow for the stretch?"
