Interesting read, Manton.
Yesterday, I saw a tall chap ahead of me in the line for coffee. He was wearing a single-breasted navy suit which had a serious fit problem that I wonder if it might be related to balance.
I see it a lot with taller, thinner people, esp. when their jacket is undone. The shoulders appear to fit OK (not great, but OK) and from chest up, the jacket appears serviceable. However the skirt of the jacket develops vertical rolls (almost pleats) similar in appearance to the first illustration but at the side of the jacket rather than the centre. The front quarters also appear to hang much lower than the back which rides up similar to that first pic.
Is this a balance issue or something else?
