situation 5: wear and tear

sample 1: classic suit collar felt too rigid

sample 2: covertible collar, still stiff

sample 3: no collar, open seams at stress points

Suits are not designed for sitting. Seams strain, fabric thins. A garment that is made flat is forced to accomodate a mass of limbs. Across the back, at elbows and knees, the butt against the seat.
