Why it's worth it
The waist seam is doing what a corset does — no boning required.
The Edit
Pinstripe suiting shaped into an hourglass — padded shoulders drop into a waist seam so pronounced it reads closer to corsetry than conventional tailoring. The notched lapel sits wide and flat, the two-button stance lands low, and flap pockets anchor the hips without bulk. Interior construction holds the shape without boning, making this one of the sharper silhouettes the classic blazer form has produced.
