Looks good.  Depending on your preferences, you can shorten the sleeve hems a 1/4".  The jacket is designed as a 3R2, so button only the middle.

Any idea of where to get one like this?

The pic is from the Pitti Uomo GQ shots taken in Florence (I think so).

May be it is bespoke but could be any of you know something about this SC (shooting jacket)

I have been looking for it but no luck, any clue about where to find one???

Thanks in advance

Hi to all, I am still looking for this jacket, any new idea of where to find it?

Thanks

does anyone know of an alterations tailor in London [with a shopfront, rather than via a tailor] who can sew excellent buttonholes, perhaps up to SR quality?

That jacket is very clearly bespoke.

Hey guys I just notice this tear on my loafers, should I take these in to the cobbler immediately? Is it just a simple resole? Also should I have gotten a resole earlier based on how much wear there is now? Thanks!

hey guys, i'm "security guarding it" (navy blazer, light blue shirt, gray trousers) this weekend. my additional options are:
a. walnut strands with belt, b. black park avenues with belt, c. black or burgundy tie.

what do you think?

Don't do the Park Avenues. These are the quintessential business-formal suit shoe, and, IMO, don't look great with odd jackets. The burgundy tie should look fine.

I was thinking the same. Of what you posted, a summer weekend just screams for walnut strands and a tie with some color to it.

I'm asking this feeling like I already know the answer...

I picked up a RLBL navy linen blazer online in my usual size and sleeves need to be shortened a touch, shoulders fit well, but the chest is a bit snug and constricting. When I lift my arms outward, the lapels bow outward, etc.

Can that be altered by a good tailor or is it either too costly or too labor intensive and risking throwing off the balance of the jacket overall?

I have 2 RLBL and believe that is one of the distinct features of RLBL suits. I think the cost will be a bit high to fix that. What size are you?

40R almost always - 40L once in a great while

RLBL is a bit weird. I also am 40R (only with RLBL) and because they're DROP 7, I had to have the pants tailored to 31/32. The jacket fit me perfect but it is a bit tight around the armpit area and so it would cause the shirt to bunch up there. I really suggest against going with the sports jacket. Will be some work that will cost $$$.

Bout how much would you guess? I got it at a deep discount and if the results will be good I don't mind paying for it.

I have access to an excellent tailor who does bespoke work in my city.

I'll be bringing him the jacket but I can't until next week - that's the only reason I'm asking how much you think it could cost instead of just waiting for him to tell me.

I think there is a TAILOR section in SF where they can give you better advice. Take a pic and see what they say. Hope the discount was very good.
