Jacket Laced Side Detail
Jacket Snap Side Detail
Adjustable sides maximize a jacket's versatility. The jacket can be let out in the winter to accommodate a sweater or cinched in during the summer when you only wear a t-shirt.
Laced Sides provide maximum flexibility. The entire girth of the jacket, from your sternum to your waist, can be adjusted using laced sides. In addition they can be adjusted variably, for example, wider at the top but narrower at the bottom.
Snap Sides are quicker to adjust and not as bulky. However, they only tighten the waist of the jacket, and limited in the range of adjustment as the snaps can only be undone, on the first snap or on the second snap.
