I've had a tailor add a strap to a couple of jackets, but only suede ones. IMO it works a lot better with a soft leather or suede that's going to drape and hang from the strap when you're carrying it. Something like heavy calf is likely to stick out awkwardly because of the stiffness.
edit: I just clicked on the link, and I thought you were talking about attaching a carrying strap to the lining of the jacket (not sure whether this is still SOP for RO jackets, but the one I have has it). The double strap on the outside of the Acronym jacket would likely have a totally different effect.
Thank you for the response. I was actually thinking of it being on the inside, though the acronym one is also reversible, being able to be put both on the inside and the outside.
If possible, could I please get a reference as to where you got your tailor to attach the straps? I imagine the liniing material would not be able to handle much pressure on it.
