I recently purchased a new Tom Ford Solid Wool Base B suit. It fits well after a bit of tailoring. It has waist tabs. I have a Ralph Lauren Black Label suit with waist tabs and the waistband seems to fold over on itself after some wear. I have noticed that beginning to happen on the Tom Ford. Any idea why that happens? Will it come out with pressing? It does not happen with any suits that don't have waist tabs.

My guess is that it has to do with the stiffness of the interlining used in the waist band. This has happened to most waist bands until I had trousers made for me and the interlining for the waist band that my tailor uses is quite stiff.

I assume some tailors could confirm this.
