Relationship between the ease allowance and the wearer’s satisfaction on wearing slim fit jackets. This schematization shows the relationship between the ease allowance and wearer’s satisfaction as well as the difference in optimal size between the motional satisfaction and the aesthetic satisfaction on wearing slim fit jackets. To maximize the aesthetic satisfaction on a slim fit, the motional satisfaction must be sacrificed to a certain degree. On the other hand, when the ease allowance is increased to the maximal point of motional satisfaction, the aesthetic satisfaction is decreased in inverse proportion. Therefore, there always exists a certain gap between the maximal points of the motional satisfaction and the aesthetic satisfaction. The aesthetic satisfaction can be achieved in a specific ease allowance if the wearer and garment design are specified. However, the motional satisfaction can vary in accordance with the elasticity of the fabric even though the wearer and garment design are specified. The ease allowance to reach the maximal motional satisfaction decreases as the elasticity of the fabric increases
