I have had the worst time finding a blazer that fits. I had one made at pretty reasonable cost a while ago, and it was okay but surprisingly ordinary for a bespoke item.

I was complaining to DH about the way blazers fit and showing him that even if the seam matches up with the edge of my shoulder, the sleeves never hang right. His response was that my arms are really muscular (thanks, rock gym!), and instead of being straight up and down, they curve out and create bulk, pushing outward where the material should fall straight down from the shoulder's edge.

This was so much more nitpicky of a fit issue than I'd ever considered... But it's exactly right! And what's the fix for it? No wonder knits and jacket without shoulder pads work so much better for me!

Does anyone else have this issue, and can any of our talented sewists tell me what to do about it?
