Here are two more.
Does your jacket stay in place when you do this?

No, if I did that my jacket would be bundled up around my head. :D

I agree with everyone else about the buttons and belt being a little too high. The armholes could be better, but compared to a lot of modern suits I've seen (including my own, very much!) they aren't terrible. My jacket contorts horribly even if I just try to put my hand in my front pants pockets. :eek:

Most tailors flub the armholes.
Look at these pictures of James Cagney. This is how your jacket should behave as you move your arms.

The body of Cagney's jacket doesn't move as he waves his arms about and reaches up to put his hat on his head!

Sorry, don't mean to hijack this thread, but what Cagney film is this referencing?
By the way, thanks for these photos. I need to print them out to take with me to the tailors. Easier to show them a picture of what I'm looking for than to describe it.

Cheers!

Dan
