Double Breasted Style.

Hi, everyone. I brought home my first bespoke double-breasted suit today. It looked great at the tailor's, but when I brought it home and tried the jacket on for my wife, we noticed something -- a slight pulling or puckering around the button that is closing the jacket. I've uploaded a not-great photo my wife took with my phone. We aren't sure if this slight puckering is just what we should expect with a double-breasted jacket -- I've never had one before -- or if some slight adjustment is needed. What's confusing me is that the jacket doesn't feel tight or too fitted at all. There seems to be plenty of room, and so I wouldn't want to make it any bigger around the waist. Is it just the weight of the fabric pulling on the button slightly? (We tripled checked that the internal button was fastened properly. It was.) Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Is this just how it's supposed to look?

Just giving this post a little bump, in the hope that people didn't see it because of the Thanksgiving holiday.

The coat looks nice to me. I agree there's a bit of pulling at the buttoning point, but it's pretty minor and not something that would bring me to the tailor's to fix. The overall silhouette looks nice and the coat otherwise seems to fit you well. I like how you're wearing it there.

Thank you for the feedback! The coat was made for me by Bespoke Tailors in Dubai. (The fabric is from Zegna.)

At first glance I didn't even notice it. It looks just fine to me, if there was any fixing that needed to be done it would probably be something tiny like moving the button just a hair over but honestly wouldn't worry about it. Beautiful jacket by the way I've always been quite keen to the double breasted style

This is ridiculously nice! And the background. Wow! Bond villain vibes.

Really loving the beefed up shoulders. Also, this guy has some intense traps. Looks great.
