Hi, I've been looking for the answer to this all over, and I can't seem to find it. It's either too trivial for some sites, or too esoteric for others..
Does the canvas of a full-canvas suit occupy only the front of the suit, or does it also cover the back of the suit?
I have a suit that seems to be distorting slightly at the shoulders as it hangs on the hangar - despite the broad and very thick wooden hangar I bought for my beloved suit. The canvas of this suit is only on the front. I was wondering if this is because it is half-lined, or because all full-canvas suits have canvas only in the front. If I wanted to prevent the suit from stretching on the hangar (it is slowly developing hangar bumps I think) can I ask for some sort of taping or reinforcement underneath the shoulder seam to prevent this? Has anyone done this before?
Sorry, to better explain, I was asking about the canvas because I was wondering if suits have canvas behind the shoulder seam also, thereby creating more resistance to stretching on the hangar.
