I found a very attractive sport coat this morning at my local Jos.A. Bank. It fits very well in shoulders, chest, and sleeves, but for some reason the collar won't lay down against the back of my neck. It doesn't lean back away from my neck so much; rather, it sort of hovers above my neck.
The sales clerk suggested that a good pressing would bring it down, and when I expressed my suspicious that it would not, she said that their tailor could solve the problem by "taking material out of the collar." She pinched the collar right behind my neck to show me, and although that did bring the collar down to my neck, it also changed the overall silhouette of the jacket.
I'm holding off on the purchase until I hear from my trusted (and economically disinterested) homies here in the forum. What's the verdict?
