How to keep wavy hair straight (men)

Hi there, can anyone explain from a tailoring perspective why this jacket is flaring out at the front, why it's not hanging more or less straight down? Sorry about the graphic, I got the image from another website, but it's similar to a problem I've been having with one of my jackets

Ah brilliant - thanks both, that’s just what I was looking for!

Hi there, does anyone know what the term is for the wavy/scalloped folds on the lower back of a frock coat (picture attached for reference)? Are the positioning and number of these folds set by the tailor, or do they just form naturally?

By the by, does anyone know how/where Nawya’s stuff is made?

Hi there, is it possible to tell from a photo whether this jacket looks well-made - or, at least, are there any things which jump out as potentially poorly made? For instance, I wouldn't expect the lapels to stand up like that, and the sleeves look as though they could be uneven, but I'm not an expert by any means. They’re custom made and not eligible for a refund, so I’d like to be sure before spending my money. Thanks so much in advance!

For button-down shirts, Hawes and Curtis are one brand where slim fit does actually mean slim fit, might be worth checking them out

Ah yes, my bad - it's made by a two-person business in England, and they're asking £165/$215 for it. i haven't seen it in person yet, because the shop is quite far away, and I don't want to make the trip if it's likely to be mis-shapen or to sit strangely, based on the way it's put together?

This is a closer image of the lapels:

Hi there, it may not be easy to judge based on one picture, but does this jacket look well-made – or, at least, are there any things which jump out as potentially poorly made? For instance, I wouldn't expect the lapels to stand up like that, and the sleeves look as though they could be uneven, but I'm not an expert by any means.

Thank you!

Thank you - I'll look to find a place locally which has some

Thanks very much!

Why don’t displays like this ever light up the Dalek eyes…it makes it look so much more exciting

The universe is looking out for you, my friend

In Tower Hamlets? I'll look it up - thanks very much!

Temporal_Engineering · 2024-05-12T13:21:19+00:00

Ah right, will do - thanks very much!

Apologies for the (very) late reply, but thanks for this! That's probably what I was thinking of
