I saw that you mentioned it was from the armpit not shoulder. But thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding!

Sorry, my bad. I should have said shoulder, I did said the outseam but I fumbled the world... early morning...

If anyone is interested in an orientation to or comparison of the Neapolitan and standard sport coat fits in motion, I've made a video on it.

The sleeve length measurements are very long. 35" for a size 15 half? Is this a typo?

Oh, ha! They are measured from the neck, not the armpit!

As mentioned, sleeve lengths for shirts are measured from the middle of the back of the neck.

So, if you want to find out what your sleeve length should be, get a friend with a tape measure to help you. Start at the middle of the back of your neck and go across to the top of the bone of your shoulder joint. This is at the top of your shoulder, just before your arm drops away. Then, measure down the outside of your arm to your wrist bone.

As an example, I have a 16" neck and wear 34" sleeves in shirts. However, in suits, I have 24.5" sleeves because suit sleeve length is measured differently.

Thanks buddy- still about 5 inches too long. not sure if i am really missing something.

You have short arms. The norm for 15.5 is 32/33. 30in arm length from the back of collar means you are the outlier.

Is this is a MTO,OTR, or both?

I still have my fingers crossed for high-rise linen trousers and non-button-down collar linen shirts... Maybe next year, SM?

Very true, that's why I asked. I didn't want to miss this opportunity if its MTO only. However, the OTR size fits me pretty well so I might as well wait for that release.

Anyone ever had the no lining option done up in MTO and can comment on the results? I'm looking to replace a full canvas, unlined summer wool I have that serves well for hot-weather events that wouldn't be appropriate for linen.

Anyone have any 100% linen sport jackets? What's your thoughts on the wrinkles etc? I'm really intrigued by the tobacco herringbone, but I'm a bit afraid...

Yet again, looking for some SF help.

I am planning to add a non-navy sport coat for spring summer. It will be used solely in informal settings. My collection of warm weather sport coats currently consist of a navy hopsack, a blue linen and a cream cotton/linen blend (all solids).

I have currently narrowed it down to these three wool/linen blends:

1) Drago green hopsack (MTO)
2) Drago chocolate hopsack
3) Medium brown glen check

Which one would you chose? Thanks!

Thanks for the input, @XxLogo @FlyingHorker and @wildcat10

I ended up with the green hopsack in 3 patch neo.

I only have the Sondrio medium brown check from last year. It's part of the charm that you either like or don't. I'm fine with it. I will say that I've had linen jackets that wrinkled much more easily compared to the Sondrio.

What is y'alls opinion on cotton suits? I was considering an MTO in beige, is it better to go with a fresco fabric instead for warm weather occasions?
