Search Results for ‘shoulder padding’

Hi All, I've read many online guides, but don't recall any objective guidelines as to precisely where the suit jacket shoulder pads should end (or where the sleeves should drop down from), leaving considerable guesswork to be done. I can think of two objective points on the shoulders from which...

Hello everyone. I know I've posted on here before about the same issue, but I always seem to get answers/information that contradicts each other. This link contains three photos of three different suit jackets I own... (Use the arrows left and right to scroll). 1). The blue check/windowpane...

Hi guys, Question about shoulder structure on Tom Ford suits. Do they typically contain a lot of shoulder padding? Or does it vary from style to style? For example, to me it looks as if the O'Connor suit has less shoulder padding than the Windsor. Are any of you familiar with SuitSupply? I...

Hi guys, This is my first suit from online MTM company Oliver Wicks. I love the suit, and while it virtually fits well in every other aspect, I can't fit the life of me figure out why I'm getting this awful indentation on the top of the shoulder. Anyone have any insight? Thanks!

Ok, I got a suit on sale and had it tailored at the shop (I won't say which shope but it's a common men's clothing shop in the US, on the east coast at least). I'm not used to shopping for suits, so I didn't notice until I wore the suit for the first time today that it has very thick shoulder...

Hi, I have recently bought an old (1910) frock coat on the bay, but i have a slight problem with the armohole, as it is a tad bit too small. I can wear the coat, but i am hoping for a bit more comfort. I noticed to my surprise that there are shoulder pads in the coat, lifting the shoulder by...

I may be way out in left field here, but is it possible to remove pads from jackets, i.e.--to give them natural shoulders? Thanks!

Here goes the broken record: I think this year's Southwick-made suit jackets feature the same natural, sloping shoulder I've seen and worn in years past. Maybe a wee bit of "padding," but not much. It's basically the Douglas shoulder. And since there's a case to be made that a completely...

So I got my J.Press sack back from the alteration tailor. The tailor did a great job taking most of the padding out. However, the shoulder heads were left alone to keep some structure. As you can see in the first picture, the evil J.Press shoulder heads are to blame for when people complain...

I got my 15-yr-old Douglas Southwick blazer back from the tailor on Saturday and feel like I have a brand new jacket. The shoulder padding is gone. (Maybe I should've posted on new acquisitions.) Even though Southwick isn't known for having too much padding, it sounded good for a few reasons...

I must admit, I have been pleased with the relative softness/slope of my recently purchased Samuelsohn suits/jackets. I can see a difference between these and the slightly more padded Press suits, as well as Brooks offerings. BUT, I wanted to report, I was in O'Connells over the Holidays and...

What is this supposed to mean? Does it just mean the shoulder part of the blazer does not have any padding?

This topic generates a lot of confusion, so I thought I would share what I have learned with the members. What is a Neapolitan shoulder? The tailors of Naples have become famous over the last ten years, in part because the rise in popularity of brands like Kiton. Many writers wax poetic about...

I went into a retailer called Beecroft & Bull today, and was shown a Ralph Lauren Polo II model. My size was not available, but I was immediately taken with the shoulder. It had the least padding I have encountered. If anyone on the forum is familiar with this model, do you know of a maker/model...
