If that is the case, you have the wrong size jacket. The suit jacket is all about how it fits the shoulders. Find a good suit (I wear mostly Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren suits) that fits your shoulders comfortably. The next step is to take the jacket to a professional tailor (not some jackass that works for the store where you bought the jacket) and have it tailored to fit you. Problem solved.
This is solid advice.

I've had some pants altered by a Korean tailor lady near my house, and she always makes the pants too short. Always. I adjusted, and when she would pin the hems I would say, "Now add an inch." She would add a quarter-inch and I would say, "More. Add a full inch." So she would add a full inch to get them to the right length, and then I'd get them back and she'd shortened them back up after I left.

My point being that clothes should be comfortable for the wearer, and tailors don't always understand or abide by that. So you have to find the right tailor.

Also, I had a bunch of my clothes adjusted when I lost a fair amount of weight a few years back. She said something like, "Ohhhh, you used be fat. You not fat now."

A couple of years later, I took something in to be tailored and she looked at me and said, "Ohhh, you getting fatter." I'd gained back maybe 10 pounds of the 40 that I'd lost.

My point also being that tailors may not have tact, especially if they're older Korean women.

The tailor I go to is an old man in his 70s. I don't trust women to tailor any of my clothes. When I tell a man that I like my suit sleeves long enough that my dress shirt doesn't show when I'm bringing my crown and coke glass up to my lips, I know he understands what the **** I'm talking about.

I love the fact that you keep going back.

He understands you're the kind of mind that needs to mix his whiskey with coke.

As far as Suits go; it's an awful show. My wife records it and I have caught enough of it to know that nobody should watch it.

I don't always make the best decisions.

You're a Chiefs fan. Tell us something we don't know.

I have thoroughly enjoyed Denver's laundry scene. I have a large amount of daily laundry so when it comes to comforter/sheet day... bleh. There's a laundry place nearby with machines that hold 8 loads and sends me a text when almost done.

It's all run by a scary old Korean lady too.

Meh, it has convincingly acted, if not highly plausible, plots.
It has Louis Litt
Most importantly, it has 3 of the most attractive females in all of TV.

You're confusing needs with wants. I don't need to mix my whiskey with coke, but I want to because that's the way I prefer to drink.
