Haha, I actually tried googling Thurston Howell too to get example pics, but I couldn't find any, and just assumed that nobody would notice.

Maybe I'll give it a shot. I'm a slim guy, too, so a DB would be flattering.

Is NSM making it for you? If so, the barchetta ain't bad.

If that were to be made in alligator or crocodile leather with peak lapels, then hell yeah.

I've seen snap on buttons but I'm talking about a large face button with a smaller button behind it by 1/4" or so. both sides of the jacket would have button holes, but the side to be concealed would have the smaller button holes.

Double Breasted Blue Blazer

I guess I could have really confused you and posted DBBBBB. Which, of course, is a Double Breasted Blue Blazer from Brooks Brothers

Lovely, although the stitching on the chest pocket seems a little excessive.

If it's heavy weight, I kinda like those patch pockets with the pleat through the center.
