I have a reefer in Steadfast. Drapes very well. Collects dust, at least the hopsack weave I have. The Italian tailor loved it.

@Tonik: That is, the old strong tonik. Note the Donegal design, and the missing breast pocket. The right source, btw: http://www.the-journal-of-style.com

Sorry, but those lapels still look out of proportion to me. Not sure what it is. Maybe the photo - or my glasses.

Lapels too heavy and large for that frame.

I was told he expected to open in November, however at that time there was still some legal work to be done. He could be delayed.
