A real gem.

Perfection. *drool*

A jacket like this would render half my wardrobe of stop gaps and fillers redundant.
What are my chances of success if I take this picture to a tailor and say ''Make me this!! (please)'' ?

Very nice. And in amazing condition. It's going to make someone very happy.

If I owned this I'd be a very happy chappy for sure.

Excellent jacket, the nice heavy fabric makes it even better.

It's not an action back, the box pleats in the pockets are simple, and drafting a pinched back with a belt isn't that hard. The real difficulty is to find a tailor that can (and will) get the vintage silhouette right, and not just a modern jacket with a couple vintage details tacked on.

Yes, and that creamy colour makes it really yummy.

another one for the Fastuni collection ?

 

[Fastuni]

Guess so.
I pulled the trigger again... It is my size and exactly my preferred style/time.

Stupid suit buying binge this week!

Going to part from some gems the next weeks.

Edit:

Why must all three Euro-suits/sportcoats I bought recently be from the US? The costum fees are going to be brutal. :eusa_doh:

 

[Rudie]

I wish I had your problems, Fastuni.

 

[herringbonekid]

good purchase Fastuni ! a very versatile sports jacket.

It's certainly a good sportcoat for early Spring and Autumn.
A medium between the very light summer sportcoat and the very heavy winter sportcoat:

 

[Metatron]

Do you always get charged custom fees, or is it a random thing?

 

[Metatron]

You know Fastuni, I had spotted both those tweed jackets and was poised to strike, only to find that they were like half an inch to an inch too small in the chest. Not to mention that Greek sports coat.
Luck is not on my side. :eusa_doh:

 

[Metatron]

I don't suppose you have anything measuring 22 inches armpit to armpit with a 25-26 inch sleeve?
Sorry about all the posts, but no edit function so...

 

[Fastuni]

What would be your waist size? During the holidays I will check my wardrobe... I certainly have something your size.

Always... x(

I wear a size 34 trousers, but I'm not overly fussed. I'll take what i can get.

That's a year's worth of wonderful sportscoats. The basis of a perfect wardrobe!

 

[Metatron]

Agreed.
