Continuing the discussion on double-breasted suits:

My rib cage is rather small, no surprise given my stature, and ends a bit higher than most men's on the torso. If I follow alden's instructions I end up with pockets well below the last button. I would place the pocket higher, but I looked at the DB pattern the tailor made for me and noticed that the pockets were placed at exactly the same height as they were on my single-breasted jackets.

This is my first DB so I'm pretty clueless. Help!
