obviously, it’s a rather goofy angle/photo….but suit coats do indeed need some structure at the shoulder, otherwise it looks sloppy. I think the shoulders look fine.

I think it’s indigestion. Some peppers repeating, perhaps?

The one thing that I do like is his tie knot. His knot has nice balance and enough imperfection to give it personality. Notice the lack of a dimple - not easy to do as well as he did.

Many folks obsessed with sartorial matters insist that perfect symmetry is to be avoided with a tie knot and therefore prefer such basic knots as the four-in-hand.

There is something weird about the perspective in that shot. His head is forward, but the angle of the shoulders make him look like he’s leaning back. Perhaps it is created by the overstuffed shoulders or perhaps it is caused by the angle of the photograph.

I’m more dismayed by his inability to tie a symmetrical knot myself. Who does he think he is, Casey Affleck?

Kevlar would indeed be an original choice for an interlining.

Perhaps the suit contains kevlar or other body protective layers giving it the steel breastplate drape.
