How's the Fit of this Double Breasted Sport Coat?

[Superfluous]

I just bought this double breasted linen sport coat. The vents are still sewn shut, so it's a little tighter in the bottom area than it would end up. Also, I realize the sleeves are too short (I'm 6'2) and have to have them lengthened on almost all of my sport coats. I see a little bit of pulling, is it too tight? Is there too much pulling? Could some of the tension be released by opening the vents?

Yes. Open the vents and report back. Right now the waist suppression looks asymmetrical.

yeah lengthen the sleeves. As for letting it out... I always thought that wasnt possible with linen as you would see the threading holes.

It is definitely going to work. I know you were going back and forth on length -- this is a great length, IMO. Lovely!

Nice coat. I'd have it let out a bit at the waist and maybe arms as well, if there is material to let out.

I think it looks great, nice color and fabric. But you need to lengthen the sleeves and little bit, well I guess others already said. I am just adding so that you can really get the point.

Haven't gotten much commentary on the waist. Will it work? Does it actually need to be let out?

 

[emmanuel]

it needs to be let out but it might not be possible because of the material

let out the vents and repost...unless you are planning on wearing and returning!

Sorry for being nosy, but I just noticed that you blurred out your watch in that picture... why?

I don't want to open them unless I know I'm keeping it.

I just didn't want it in the pic.

Too small for you,don't keep. Length of the jacket is short also not to mention other issues.

Why are you altering you watch in the pic? Is it such a unique piece?

I just didn't want it in the pics, no comments, or anything... I guess my moves defeated the purpose
