I'm trying to help a friend find a suit but regardless of what he tries on he gets the arm divot problem. We've tried various cuts and it happens in all of them (BOSS, Tom Ford, RL Polo & Black Label to name a few). Since it seems like nothing OTR will do can anyone comment on whether this is something a tailor can take care of? I never have this problem myself so I'm not too sure about it.
Most of my searches on here have turned up issues with the shoulder having divots or puckering. A quick response is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Below is a photo of a suit he is considering.
Is what Jeffrey describes in this thread what is happening in this picture? The pictures in the thread no longer have valid links. (http://www.styleforum.net/t/151698/divot-terror)
I was told opening up the back of the jacket and loosening it would help resolve the problem (basically, creating a wide back) but from what I understand from Jeffry the arm hole needs to actually be increased in diameter and it has nothing to do with the back.
