I'm looking for a spring/summer, lightweight, 2 button navy/deep navy jacket made of wool/cashmere/linen. I am a 44 R, however, I am somewhat hard to fit. Extra measurements include: chest (44); shoulders (19/.5); sleeves (25); waist (20-21).

I had wanted something like this

but totally forgot to bid on it at the end!

Thanks for any help!

I'd say your shoulder and chest measurements are closer to a 42R
why do you think you're hard to fit? what measurement do you have trouble with?

A word of advice. Any amount of cashmere is going to make a jacket hot. The jacket may feel light weight but cashmere is WARM. I have a light weight quarter lined half constructed jacket from Canali and with 5% cashmere it's too hot for summer.

I don't really know why it feels like I am so hard to fit. I generally work out, but not all the time, so my chest size fluctuates between 44-45, and my waist size is 32-33. Most of the 44 Rs that I've tried on are just too big around the waist and cannot be brought in as much as I would like. Furthermore, 42 Rs I've generally found that the shoulders just seem a tad too small, and though the chest and waist are a slim fit that I like, they restrict my movement more than I would like. I really don't have much money to look at high end suits or even have a MTM or bespoke made...yet (I'm in law school).
