    I just noticed something on the jacket I am working on that might be a problem. The sides of the front where the buttons are are not parallel, but they angle back just a bit. This is from the pleating i pinned into the back. In other words, the two sides of the closure do not hang strait down, they angle back like the sides of an "A."

    I don't know if this would be noticeable, but I'm guessing it would. There is no way to adjust this because of the button holes etc.

    From the pin up experiment, I can see how a jacket could be tailored in this way, but the front would need to be adjusted. The back is really neat looking.

    It's OK though because I can unpin the pleating in the back and go about it in a different way; more like what I had planned in the first place. Here's the picture with the hem folded up where the cutaway would be without the back pleating.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
