At this point, some of you probably feel like this:
But that's okay, because here's a summary of the construction standards we just walked you through!
* Quilted yoke (¾" parallel quilt lines) that extended onto the sleeves (via "shoulder points"), nested with the undershirt neckline
* ⅜" gray wool gabardine neckline, yoke, and shoulder point trim, mitered at the top of the front opening, "faux- mitered" at the bottom of the front opening, and mitered on the bottom corner of the shoulder points
* Yoke front center could be straight, cut at top-to-bottom widths of half or full quilt lines (⅜" or ¾", respectively)
* ⅛" topstitching on each side of and parallel to shoulder and armscye seams
* All relevant seams and intersections' placements determined by aligning with appropriate quilt lines or mid-quilt lines
* Front-closing via an invisible zipper with a facing secured at the top to the yoke facing
* 8-panel body construction beneath yoke (center front, side front, side back, center back)
* Large seam allowances at top of body, pressed upward, secured with a "stitch in the ditch" on the upper edge of the yoke trim, and hand sewn to the yoke lining
* Action pleats on back, with the tops extending to the armscye (in our opinion!) and the bottoms meeting the back edges of the elastic waistbands
* Trapezoidal spandex panel to keep the action pleats from poking out while retaining functionality
* 2" elastic waistbands on the side body panels, secured in the back with a strip of grossgrain ribbon, secured in the front with two strips of grossgrain ribbon and two trouser-style hook-and-eye closures
* Sleeve cuffs comprising of ⅜" upper and lower raised bands and a ½" division stripe centered between them ½" from each, with a separate facing attached to the lower band and presumably secured with a "stitch in the ditch" or two
* Long pants closed around the circumferences of the legs and elastic "stirrups"
* No hemming visible on the outside of the garment
