Another in an olive tweed; too bad it's a S length:

Dream suit, sounds like a 40R:

38R Gray sack suit for a very good price:

I asked the seller and they said the padding is very light in the shoulders. If only they weren't too short for me!!
Cheers!
Oh, and I almost forgot! I have a special (albeit odd) request for anyone on TI. I'd love it if anyone could pass on any pure black sport coats or suits in the Ivy cut. The dreaded "concert black" has become a requirement in my current ensemble, and I don't expect the newfound ubiquity of "concert black" to go away any time soon, so I might as well get black clothes in a style I like.
I think I could even get away with, say, a predominantly black Pendleton jacket. But please point me in the right direction if anyone finds anything in that vein. Thanks guys!

Madras sack sport coat, 36L (more like a 38L). A tad pricey, but it looks to be in excellent shape:

Sears, gunclub tweed sport coat. Possibly a size 40 as I'm wary of the seller's measurements. Take into account it's only $15 with free shipping, could be a real steal.

Langrock Madras sack sport coat, size 38 (seems more like a 40):

I really think the vast majority of ebay sellers have no idea whatsoever how to use a tape measure. The jacket above has the same measurement for the shoulders and the chest. The mind boggles.
Just out of curiosity, would there happen to be an etsy alert page?

Pretty sure this is genuine madras cloth from the '60s:

pit to pit - 19.5"
shoulder to shoulder - 31"
WTF!?
Ha I'd ignore that and assume it's the equivalent of a 15.5
I bet it's probably printed clearly on the label if the seller had been smart enough to post it.
