I have it in green (MTO). Here you go:

Thanks mate. Appreciate it. The Neo 3 cut suits you.

Do you recommend it? Could it be mistaken for gray? It looks completely gray in your last pic. Any chance there wouldn't be any contrast paired with gray flannel trousers? How are you liking the wider and straighter cut lapels as opposed to the curved and slightly narrower Neo 2 cut? Are they too much or well balanced with the wider roped shoulders?

I look better in jackets with a bit of structure. I am skinny and I have narrow shoulders. I also prefer broad lapels. I tried to recreate the Neo 3 look in my MTO order.

I absolutely love the cloth. It's interesting - in certain lighting it's clearly green but in other lighting it's more grey. I have worn it with darker grey trousers with no problem.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. That is helpful.

Your iteration is fantastic. Would you describe the green shade as olive leaning? Washed out green?

Thank you. I'm happy to send you my configuration. Please let me know.

It's an olive green. It's definitely not washed out.

Wow this "Neo 3" is so much more flattering on your frame, great work with the measurements
Thanks. I've focused on MTM orders with both Spier and Luxire, and I'm getting to a place where I'm pretty happy with them.

BTW, this was by necessity - I rarely fit into RTW because of narrow shoulders and very long arms.
