    creases in jacket sleeves HRH POW

    I know the answer to this. HRH The Prince of Wales served in the Navy for some time, and on the Royal Navy Reefer jackets, the sleeves *must* be pressed. You can look at photos of the Royal Navy in their black suits and you'll find that the sleeves are always pressed with a crease. I only know...
