Actually, the balance would get restored to what it originally was meant to be. This is, in fact, a high-gorge double-breasted jacket. It looks VERY much like a GERMAN suit jacket. German d/b jackets from the 1930s had very high gorges, and highly placed breast pockets. Wild Root, Baron Kurtz and Herringbone Kid can attest to this.
