Does anyone know of any way to get the pocket flaps on my wested to be more scalloped? Mine are looking terribly flat. I searched through the database, but I didn't find any good nuggets of wisdom. So enlighten me please, jacket gods!

Drop PLATON a PM. I know he was experimenting a while back and created some decent SA looking flaps, as I recall.

I've also read about wetting and stretching with nice results.

Easy. Get PLATON's template and bring it to a good tailor. Shouldn't be more than 20 bucks to do that.
