    long trunk

    I notice many long-trunked men tend also to be men of substantial middles- in fact, I think pushing the waistband down to accommodate a gut is the number one cause of trunk ( or torso) elongation. The worst problem this causes, even worse than moving the hem of one's trousers or kilt below where it ought to be, is the phenomenon of the middle pulling against the shoulders, as if the gut were in a sling... If you will avoid the Dunlop* effect, you can avoid all sorts of troubles.
