#2 MISFIT
THE RIGHT CHEST
(on the right)
On the left, lapels break due to the garments lack of chest fullness or handwork. Better bespoke is slower using hand work to shape a chest. Jackets should be trim at the waist without a wrinkle at the button.

If you dont buy pure wool this can happen to you. Pressing is very temporary, hence the term, getting taken to the cleaners.
MISFIT #12 TAN CHECK
SHOULDERS TOO WIDE
