    I'm pretty sure it was pressed wrong. the stitching looks good in the fell, but the width of the reveal at the bottom of many of the pleats is wider than at the bottom of the fell. So the pleats don't hang straight, but wave in and out.

    I like KT's approach. Maybe I'll just wear the d@mn thing as is and apply #1 and 2 above w/o 3,

    If it was improper pressing, a repressing SHOULD fix it. If more, then a rebuild will be needed.

    Personally, I'd try the pressing first. Just make sure everything is lined up correctly for the pressing, so as to get rid of the splay.
