I'd check with a tailor but my guess is that a single meter should do it. There isn't much material in a vest.- OlSarge

Ah, another man who appreciates matching his vest to his trousers and then putting a complimentary jacket over them. Well done, that man! I especially like the last outfit. Very well turned out, indeed.- OlSarge

Certainly that is the tradition but as far as I'm concerned it should be treated purely as a guideline rather than a rule. It would all depend on one's location and business. In the suburbs of the northern tier, where one's office is in a business park rather than downtown, I would call it...- OlSarge

Understood completely. Mine is the opposite problem. Though six feet is far from gigantic my arms are disproportionately long and sleeves must almost always be lengthened. Again, compliments on the magnificent find.- OlSarge

My favorite possible sports jacket! Indeed, we are fortunate that so many 'bay trawlers are blind to such treasures. By your comment that it is too long I presume you are relatively young? If it covers your backside I would be loathe to touch the length. Of course, it was built for a man...- OlSarge

Something old, something new. The jacket is 'previously owned' but the vest and trousers are from Peter Christian. The shotgun is a 1909 W. W. Jeffrey.- OlSarge

This is true. Actually, that's one of the reasons tweed appeals to some people, the tradition and classic cut. However, you can always take a jacket to a good alterations tailor and have it taken in if you want a really slim cut. But since tweed=countryside, not hip urbanity, you could just...- OlSarge

If you're going in blind then the above advice is about all that anyone can say. Your only alternative is reputation, especially from folks you personally trust. If there isn't anyone around who has tried the tailor you're thinking of trying you absolutely are punting the first garment. Call...- OlSarge

If the coat already has them I'm not about to try and remove any but I'm more of the 'put them on when the elbow show wear', myself. It's not a big issue. Order 'em if you like 'em.- OlSarge

I'm fully in favor of color but Dashing Tweeds takes it a step beyond my comfort zone. However, for those who can wear such patterns comfortably, carry on!- OlSarge

And in SoCal! Today it was 96 and tomorrow is predicted to be even hotter. I fear that breaking out the tweeds before November will be naught but an exercise in wishful thinking.- OlSarge
