Advice on fit

[Lasse Hansen]

Hello ??

Hopefully someone can educate me a little on this ?
I always buy 38 regular (US) jackets which fits me quite well without further tailoring but I have noticed that I will get dimples on the back of the neck and shoulder area when not having a completely straight back. It isn’t something that bothers me a whole lot but I was wondering what might be the reason behind it. I have seen this on others suits jackets as well but I have also noticed that some doesn’t seem to have this “problem”.
Is it that I might have to up a size (40 US) or is it on the contrary due to too much fabric in the back? Or is it just a posture issue that us with bad posture buying OTR need to deal with ??‍♂️.

Any advice would be great ?

I am not expert on fitting or tailoring. However the fact that
some of your jackets do not have the problem, may be the
because they are different model(s).

There's an S&M dedicated thread here.
One of the main guys from the company frequents it, and often answers questions.

hard to diagnose from the info/pics provided. The problem is under the collar in the back and the photos are front views. The issue is seen only in pictures when your posture is in movement and not natural.
Two possible causes If the roll of cloth across the back is there when in a natural posture.
You have square shoulders. This means the slope of the jacket shoulder is greater than the slope of your physical shoulder. This can be altered.
If you have an erect posture. This can be altered but may require more work.
If the roll does not appear with a relaxed posture then you are just seeing the jacket react to your movement and is a non issue
