Who Dat? Top Shelf?Awesome find! The handwork sure is outstanding, isn't it? The jacket though, is actually made by Adrian Jules of Rochester NY. Their tailored garments are simply amazing and the handwork is definitely at Oxxford level. A local high-end men's clothier used Adrian Jules for their MTM service so I do find them quite often. Sadly, Adrian Jules just does not have the name recognition such as Oxxford so I've noticed a lot of them float under the radar on eBay unless you play the system a bit and toss in Oxxford as a key word (chalk me down for guilty on this one).
Thanks for the comments, guys, but Pug is exactly right. The jacket doesn't quite fit perfectly. It is snug in the middle. And the sleeves are actually a bit long, too - I wore it with the one shirt in my closet that has annoyingly long sleeves, but it wouldn't have worked with any of my other shirts.
It has working buttonholes, and I'm trying to decide whether I'm willing to risk letting my tailor try to shorten the sleeves from the shoulder. He assures me he can do it with no problems, but I've never let him try before.
If only we were equals in more than just that area.
I'd agree that it could be let out a tad but the sleeves don't strike me as long at all. If in doubt with the tailor I'd leave the sleeves alone. They look so close to perfect that it might not be worth messing with.
