Help with fit of bespoke dinner suit
I recently worked with one of the large Savile Row names (think Sexton, Huntsman, Henry Poole, etc..) to commission a bespoke dinner suit. I've attached a picture of the finished product.
Now there are two imperfections that I need help explaining so I can get fixed. Or at least I think they're imperfections. The first is this ripple above the buttoning point that as you can see on the screenshot is there even when unbuttoned. I have other DB suits that button cleanly so I'm not sure what that's going on.
The second is with the back of the pants. The picture with the red circle I took when I was trying it on at the store. They told me it was a pressing issue and repressed it. However, I still felt that the issue was still there after I wore the dinner suit for the first time. As you can see from one of the screenshots, there seems to be some sort of ripple/tension in sewing the pants that exists on one side that doesn't on the other.
My question is: a) are there imperfections or is it just in my mind/will go away as I wear the suit, and b) if they are, what are they imperfections in and how do I explain them? These tailors have been very kind and patient when I pointed out things during the process and told me to come back if there is anything so I'm not going to hesitate doing so if there's something wrong with it. I would just appreciate some help putting what's wrong into words! Thank you!

Sizing/shrinkage with 2021m indigo blue (raw denim)
I was wondering if anyone has experience with sizing with these jeans. I usually only ever buy one wash denim because I don't like being worried about the sizing for raw denim, but I really liked the flare on these ones and made the purchase. I'd obviously only ever hand wash in cold water, but does anyone have any experience with how they shrunk? I'm told that waist shrinkage with raw denim always stretches back out after a few wears but that the inseam shrinks the most (hence I got a 34" so they have leeway to shrink to 32"), but what about the thigh? They're perfect as is and would be too slim if it shrunk more.
Sorry for the jumbled thoughts, would appreciate anyone else's experience with these!
