Gentleman...as I stated in my post the suit has had only ONE fitting and needs to be looked at by Mr Mahon. I also said in my post it "is RAW and just out of the box never worn and certainly never pressed". This is what happens when a photo is lifted reposted and taken out of context.

This thread is an eye opener, though I want to close mine. I've learned a Prisoner of War check ( cheque for igents) should avoid bright half assed linings unless  used inside out as signaling panels when lost on the Pennines at nightfall. I must ask my optometrist where I can buy Putin contact lens. My friends, I saw 4 letters; AAAC when I looked into them. The Peter Lorre character in The Maltese Falcon lives on. At least I don't have to smell his EDT- probably Pinaud lilac.
Bookster's hacking jacket is a regional phenomenon kept alive in KENTUCKY where the 'Park Horse' ideal of exaggerated gait and surgically set and ginger agitated ground length tail pieces are paired with a saddle bouncing on the mount's kidneys. The equally exaggerated riding toggs complete the 'presentation.' In western parlance this is a 'shadow rider' or somebody admiring their own cut against the sun instead of attending to business. This is why they have ticket pockets for a fast escape via train or Zeppelin when fired.
In fairness, friend Peter King started out selling vintage tweeds on EBAY after the Mad Cow tragedy took his herd. As a horseman, Peter found a niche market and trotted with it. Peter has slowly added to the patterns. A potential client can in fact 'rent' a jacket to check basic parameters  and if a local tailor of skill is consulted a decent fit on the first try obtainable. Peter is very eager to remedy  problems. If  clients put more thought into fit instead of working cuffs the result is far more worthy than the $35 EBAY Harris monstrosities with the cut and paste history of Harris to impress the iBidder.
Again, a usefull thread to help me avoid tar Baby clothing choices.
