I'm curious if anyone has any experience wearing unstructured (light shoulder padding but otherwise no lining/canvas) suits and if they drape properly for more-than-casual occasions.
I'm looking at some double breasted jackets in what I would deem to be more formal patterns from 150s wool but am worried that they won't maintain enough of a body to look the part beyond casual engagements.
In my experience unstructured garments are typically made from a cotton or linen blend to play to their lithely applications.
I would imagine a Neapolitan sartorialist could opine on what's permissible.
I'm attaching pictures of sample patterns to illustrate my dilemma.
Any help would be appreciated
