I recently purchased a beautiful navy two button Brioni jacket at NM during the Last Call sale in a lighter weight cashmere weave(?) that can be worn year round. When I tried it on I thought it fit perfectly, even the arm length was spot on. The cuff buttons needed to be sewn on (never seen that before) so the salesman called the tailor to double check the fit. After checking it he wasn't happy with the fit so he grabbed a shoulder pad and put it over my right shoulder (my right shoulder does hang slightly lower than my left but no one had ever noticed that but myself) and put the jacket back on and told me that now it fit properly and that he would be sewing it into the jacket as well as lengthening the right sleeve a bit. I questioned him but he was pretty adamant about it so I agreed. The salesman said it was not uncommon to see that done when I questioned him as well. My main worry is that the additional pad might be visibly noticeable under the right shoulder. I know Brioni jackets have pretty structured shoulders but this jacket was a bit softer in general than the other Brioni jackets I have.
Have any of you guys had this done to a jacket and if so is the additional pad noticeable at all? Is it a fairly common practice? I would really appreciate any comments on this.
Thanks
