Alright gents:
I bought this for a song last year during my quest for a regatta blazer. I know it's ridiculous - it's red, has huge lapels, and reminds me of something Gene Rayburn would wear during his Match Game days - so you don't have to tell me that. It's a 4x2 right now, but I have 2 extra buttons and could make it a 6x2.
But I do I need some outsider input as I consider whether it's worth taking to the tailor to alter.
Possible considerations:
1) Narrow lapels
2) Add white piping/tape around the lapels for legit regatta blazer look
3) 6x2 it
4) Leave as is, except for some suppression and sleeve shortening
5) Burn it
Please forgive the small-timer home repair in progress in the third picture.
Without further ado:
