When the draft for the stout jacket is all completed, begin to cut the front from R to 9, 12, G, 4, 7, Z to Y, the front shall not be cut unless everything is complete. Now cut in the front, from 12 to 13 which is the side part under the arm also cut in at the pocket from 13 to 5, when this is cut in pleat up as shown on the original draft both sides or W, 13 and 14 lost to 5, and after when the fold is made, straighten out the front as shown on diagram. Now see to it that when the fold in front is made, the pocket space shall be opened from 14 to 13, also the under arm seam from 12 to 15 as shown on the diagram. Now allow the button stand, the button stand can be allowed also before the fold is made for the stoutness, and straighten out as usual.
