The tailor can get the extra fabric from there.. but be sure the jacket has that issue when it stays straight on you,, because if you take too much is harder to put back imo

I’ve come across various Instagram photos as well as on Kirby Allison’s recent video with Sartoria Gallo that have tabs that connect to braces/suspenders in the back of the trousers rather than the buttons being sewn directly to the waistband.

Is there an actual function to these or are they purely aesthetic?
Shoulder slope of the jacket is off. It's tight on your shoulder point and the breaking/fold is the result. Not related to your arm pressing against anythingmy right shoulder is lower and more forward than my left side. As a result I tend to get creasing in jackets around the lower front part of the armhole, like in the picture here. It goes away if I force my shoulder back into a more standard position but returns when I stand naturally. I assume my armpit is pushing against the jacket armhole and buckling the upper chest.
is there any kind of alteration that can help?
The overall jacket size is ok, and this is an issue I get with many of my jackets to a greater or lesser extent.

Sometimes, yes. It’s a complicated adjustment and limited to the jacket being cut, made and no outlets in that area. Your picture shows the issue but not enough to diagnose the solution. That type of work should be consider as reconstruction, not an alteration.Assume no alteration can fix this kind of issue? I get similar on the right side of pretty much all my jackets
Question about front-back balance. Should we always be aiming for a more or less horizontal line to the hem of the jacket, as viewed from the side? I've got a prominent seat, so I tend to prefer longer lengths in the back, but I don't mind a shorter look in the front.

This means never have the back be 'longer' than the front, I take it?NEVER!
