title: "Brian body block: Designer Notes"
|

Brian is FreeSewing's foundational body block for menswear. It underpins many of our designs and has done so for many years.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is inspired by the teachings of Gareth Kershaw, but has a number of improvements such as handling shoulder slope, the ability to shift the shoulder seam backward and foward on both collar and shoulder side, as well as a highly configureable sleevecap.

|
|
Perhaps just as important as what it does, is what it does not do: It does not fit the body. It's just straight down from the chest. No fitting of the waist whatsoever.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is intentional to make it easier to extend this design in a variety of styles.
