But it's worth paying attention to how clothes create shapes. This is more useful than thinking, "Short jackets and slim pants are trending now, so I have to wear that."
As I've noted in other threads, not all clothing has to conform to ideals about gendered forms. Outfits can be concealing, unflattering, or even disfiguring. Fashion is more than making men into David and women into Venus. Sometimes, stuff just looks cool! See Comme des Garçons.
For a double-breasted, I think you should go even lower. This creates an even longer, sweeping lapel line and the most flattering V-shape through the jacket's front edge.
For that V-shaped figure, the buttoning point should be placed at the narrowest part of your torso. That's at the very least, if not just a touch lower to elongate the lapel. This, of course, requires a longer jacket.
By contrast, I assume that Mariano Rubinacci, head of the bespoke tailoring house Rubinacci, does not have Jackson's figure. Yet, his suit results in that V-shape better because the jacket 1) is longer 2) has a lower buttoning point
Look at these short Thom Browne suits on football stars Lionel Messi, Philippe Coutinho, Ivan Rakitic, and Rafinha. We can assume they all have V-shaped torsos (Statue of David-esque) because they're professional football players. Yet, the suits make them look anything but.
When you shorten the jacket, you have to raise the buttoning point to keep a proper distance from the buttoning point to the hem. Otherwise, the bottommost button will look weirdly close to the hem. But raising the buttoning point creates a rounder silhouette.
The answer lies in the cut of the jacket. Jackson and his friend are wearing very short jackets. The classic length is something that bifurcates you about halfway from your collar to the floor when you're wearing heeled shoes. Their jackets are about 2" or 3" too short.
Muscular men on here often tell me that they like tight suits because they want to show off their figure. So how can it be that Jackson and his compatriot here look so rounded? Lost is the V-shaped figure that Jackson supposedly wants to show.
Here, we see Jackson has a very muscular figure. The V-shape formed by his broad shoulders and narrow waist is even more extreme than the Statue of David.
The buttoning point is the topmost button on a two-button coat or the center button on a three-button coat. It serves as the coat's visual fulcrum, determines the narrowest part of a jacket, and is where the lapels bloom.
@dieworkwear Spreading civilization one 🧵 at a time.
Notice decent men aren't mad? If you're mad, you're not safe. No one forced y'all to tell on yourselves but y'all remain eager to do so. Which is why I'll never believe men don't know predators. They simply choose not to accept the confessions.
One of these students is our child. I did not send them there for the university’s administration to brutalize them and arrest them for expressing meaningful solidarity with the Palestinian people. This is some McCarthyism 💩.

Iowans suffer while Republicans in the Iowa Legislature chase culture war boogeymen.
This Missouri lawmaker did not in fact read Old Yeller, or he would know that the dog saved his family from a rabid wolf and was bitten. The boy was forced to shoot the dog because he was rabid, not because he killed a chicken. Ben, Old Yeller was a novel before it was a movie.
