I considered commissioning a jacket with a little belly on the notch lapels, but thought the better of it when I couldn't even picture what that would look like. Anyone own something like this? Pictures?

Thanks Andre. That looks more normal than I would have thought and probably even more discreet in person.

What's "belly"?

EDIT: Never mind, figured it out.

Straight is so boring. Everybody does it toooooo oftennnnn.

The bottom half, or three, quarters looks better with a belly. But I like the top to be straight or near straight.

I'm not feeling this at all. The coat looks good otherwise, but that lapel is not doing anything for the jacket.
