I like waist suppression but don't wear the more extreme examples in the US unless I'm trying to make a point of being English :-)

Re: Groupthink at SF?
Russell,
I don't think that DB jackets are fattening per se. I wear them often and to good effect. I just see the potential for the big box of buttons on a 6x3 combined with the shorter length of the lapels to pose hazards for stockier sorts. Could be wrong, though. I'd have to try one on somewhere before I'd commit to having one made.

Re: Groupthink at SF?
I was just musing again to be honest...
I do see your point though. The 6x3 may not be the best design to elongate the ol' body.
Here is Edmund White:

He only looks big boned in a DB. 
- And I have to immediately say that I don't mean a word of that as I'm enjoying his writing on Paris so much at the moment.
He's teaching at Princeton now I believe.

^ Frankly I am surprised yachtie that you actually have some of these jackets already. I would have thought they would be a once-in-a-lifetime sort of thing.
