Top button at the waist line (random thoughts)
Is it possible to lower the top buttoning point to the waist line on Rory's two button coat draft in an effort to elongate the V shape opening of the coat?
I remember Rory talking about moving the buttoning point to the waist line for a single button coat but would it throw everything off on a two button coat?
Would the pockets then have to be moved lower? etc.....

Paul ever tailor has a creative license to express themselves through their work. Every line is a style line which can be moved or manipulated to create a look that one desires. You may know that I do have some rules around pocket placement. It’s a result of the dart suppression at the waist line when finishing in the pocket. A good guide is to have the pocket at least 3 1/2” below the waist line. The second button is then either 1/4” above the pocket, on the dart line or 1/2” below the pocket. The first button can moved to the waistline with consideration be given to the pocket and chest dart.
