Anyone thinks the shoulders of the tweed SC are generally roomier than other ones? Same size as usual but I feel like I get a more prominent dimple problem with this one. Would it soften up over time? Or is it just me being paranoid?

That's what I like to think to but my friend managed to get a photo without me holding anything. Notice the right shoulder, I don't know what to do in this case.

I have a similar shoulder bump on my tweed jacket.

Maybe with some wear it will loosen and soften in time.

This isn't a shoulder divot problem. You have dropped right shoulders and the fabric is unforgiving.

This is difficult to fix without using shoulder pads to accommodate for the gap.

Would love something like Drake's button down being available for MTM, anyway this can be done?

Can you share an example link.

I feel like this is happening only on the tweed, my other S&M jackets dont have this problem.

We've seen this a couple of times in shop. The tweed is a lot more coarse, combined with the canvas in the shoulder and it doesn't like to behave right away. We steam the shoulder to soften it and then put it on the customer right away and it's settled perfectly. I can only assume, it will settle and form to you with a couple of wears. If you have a steamer, steam the cap then throw in on ASAP.

Are you sure? His wrists look parallel. I have a dropped right shoulder and my hands are not parallel like his while standing at rest.

I had the same problem with the brown tweed, I posted about it a couple weeks ago. I thought that the “light” construction of the jacket emphasized dropped shoulders on people as there was less structure to it. For me it was pronounced at the back. Tailor suggested adding a pad or, a more expensive fix, taking it apart and reducing the material.

Hopefully what Rick suggested will work, as it’s easier and less expensive.

I'm glad there's a simple fix to it. Will try tonight and report result!
