A promo for the Winter ’23 Balenciaga show was a downloadable pattern sheet for a traditionally tailored men’s jacket, in the style of a pattern magazine insert. Here it is traced off and assembled with CLO. The pattern sheet is shown as the texture on a few of the patterns. (Can’t be all since patterns are provided for only one side of the body, the pattern sheet could be mirrored but this would just make things more jumbled.) Men’s size 50 is shown on default men’s avatar (possibly a 38T, or a little slimmer), the pattern sheet is graded, size 42- 50. There were some small errors, like mislabeled patterns on of the back pieces, lining and shell were swapped, etc. For what could be a gimmick seems like a pretty thorough pattern. It’s similar to the 2012 menswear cut, possibly a little less slimmed down.
