I thought my hands we...Thanks for getting to this. I thought my hands were completely tied when it came to the style/shape of the jacket. I've honestly never been to a tailor (menswear foul) because my funeral suit seems to be a very good off the rack fit. I knew they could take the waist in and hem the sleeves shorter, but never thought they could work any more magic on the shape of the garment. I'll have to keep my ears open for recommendations. <br /><br />As a side note, after emailing you I found a very nice Harris tweed sport coat from a local menswear store that probably went out of business 20 years ago at a rescue mission in my size, with an orange tag on 50% off day too. It does happen to be for a Halloween costume, like your newest post, but it fits great across the chest and shoulders and I'll definitely be wearing it day to day after the parties are over.
