President Bartlet Jacket

There are a million reasons why West Wing fans love President Bartlet - but one particular trademark of his is the unique way in which he is able to put on his suit jacket. The throwing and flinging action - which occurs in one swift movement - is actually the normal way in which actor Martin Sheen puts on a jacket.

He developed this method due to the fact his left shoulder was injured when he was a newborn child, leaving him with limited use of his left hand, meaning he had to find an alternative way to put on a jacket.
