MSAINT- make sure you try it on with a thick sweater, too, especially when you go to have it altered. Don't want it to wind up too small!
And, I recommend you have the sleeves tailored longer than a typical suit jacket. It's nice to have the top part of your hand protected in wet weather. Be sure to post photos... And just be yourself and use the emoticons

Zissou, first tryout were with half hand covered, so no problem with thick clothes on next fall, jacket should be ready after a second tryout May 8th... I'll try to take some pics but it's not as easy as taking pictures of my boots for the Tricker's or streatwear/boots thread!
BTY, Zissou, I love your avatar of Stacie B. London!

After some tryouts it should look something like that:Originally Posted by MSAINT
(sort of a more of a jacket less of a parka alteration
The original:
I had the same thought after picking up my camerman. However, I would caution against doing this to quickly. I held off and am glad I did; I realized that the jacket length was perfect, it was just longer than I was use to. Once I wore it a bit I got adjusted to the overall length of the jacket and now love it.

If you're going to shorten it, I'd leave at least an inch below the pockets or it's going to look very odd.
Well, looks like the chinos that I received from the Cabourn sample sale are the wrong modelOriginally Posted by zissou
Not as good/interesting I take it?
The double bank holiday messed up delivery of the waistcoat. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow...

There will be 3cm (1.2") left below the pockets, same length as in my other "classic" jackets

They still look nice, but just not what I was wanted. It looks like the inseam will be too short on me as well...
Bummer Zissou!Originally Posted by MSAINT
I wanted the British Officer chino with the double belt loops and small pocket on one thigh. Instead, I got a rather plain pair of wide leg chinos. I may put them up for sale here, but I will return them if return shipping is paid for.
