Jeez, that first pic didn't look so blurry on my phone...

I've ogled over that jacket a number of times before, if I'm correctly identifying it as the NMWA tweed by Sartoria Formosa. This just reconfirms how much I like it. I can get the right size to fit all my measurements, except for length, the measurement that constantly thwarts me in the acquisition of many jackets I'd otherwise purchase.

Jacket looks great. The balance seems a bit off though. Like the quarters should be more open.

Also, that beard is awesome. We should have a Friday Challenge about beards.

Great idea. I'd certainly like to make an entry for that challenge.

It's actually from Spier & Mackay in their Neapolitan cut, which is probably a bit closer to Eidos in style than Formosa. Same fabric as the one NMWA offered.

Though I have noticed these Neapolitan cut jackets seem to sometimes lean a little to the back, which pulls the front quarters up and closed a bit.

After putting on your jacket, make sure you to give the front a good yank by the lapels, so the collar sits in the neck properly. If your jacket still 'leans to the back' after that, it means the cut just isn't for you. Neapolitan or not.

I have had this in the past. The reason was simply that the jacket was a tad tight.

Are you able to summon Sprout2? He’s been MIA for way too long.

This fixes the issue.

Pretending it’s cold.

EDIT: After looking at this again/myself in the mirror, I think the choice of pocket square was ill-advised. Thoughts?

I noticed this as well this past week. I don't know why just this jacket...

Vintage trey piece from JC Penney's. Does it look too vintage? Love the collar roll on this Spier Mackey shirt.

I like the suit but the sleeves of both the jacket and the shirt appear a bit short.
