(I assume that construction quality is what most garment quality control is concerned with). Instead the need for a particular amount of flexion in the garment probably needs to be taken account of at the patternmaking stage when fabric selection has been completed. This is an issue I have with a lot of 1970s jacket patterns. They are narrow in the back and shoulders. I've heard stories of people needing to take their jacket off to drive as a matter of course in the 70s. This is cut not quality surely?
