I tried Marks glen check suit jacket on. I have no need for a suit but always fancied a prince of Wales with a blue overcheck( Marks does not have the overcheck). The material is good but I tried various sizes and lengths to see if I could get a perfect fit.

One was OK. So I will bear it in mind in case they have a sale. The suit was not expensive just under £300. Like I say I don't need a suit.

Not looking for an Ivy suit either, a British cut version is fine with me.

I also seem to get a daily email from Marrkt. I'm surprised the JS jacket hasn't been snapped up. It's my size so I was tempted and as Stax says it looks in good condition. I can't justify buying another jacket which would probably remain in the back of the wardrobe.

Colin, I thought the shoulder detail as shown from the back was the result of 10 years on a cheap coat hanger sitting at the back of the wardrobe, but you may be right as the jacket is made in Italy and the tailor might have made it to a less than natural shoulder design.
Fit is everything and that makes me reluctant to buy anything online. I usually can't be arsed to return stuff that doesn't come up to the mark.

Today on Marrkt some 'NWT' Vetra jackets in linen, seersucker, cotton all @ £100,

I would be cautious with Vetra.

Although they're solid value the sizing can be confusing.

At last count I think I had three different sizes of jacket from them.
