Navy wool blazer with MOP buttons in house cut. Half lined, pretty happy with it.

 

I have really sloped shoulders which I think is what's causing the shoulders to ripple a little bit.

I think either the armhole is too small/shape doesn't work for you, or the jacket is pulling on your chest, hard to tell from photos

I have that problem in many blazers, and I think it can come from either of two things, possibly both: 1. a neck that stands vertical as opposed to tilting forward and 2. shoulders that slump forward.

A tailor can can at least minimize this; they'll pinch along the top seam that runs from your neck to your shoulder and take in some of that fabric. I've had this done with a number of tailors and it doesn't always come out great--the shoulders can end up changing pitch in the middle--so use a guy you trust.

Thank you,

8 oz is a lightweight fabric.  Don't think it would be the best in the colder months.
