Hmmm... not to disappoint you, but just as warning, Hickey Freeman dinner jackets, even the Madison cut, are not what I would consider "slim". They are well made, however. If it fits reasonably through the shoulders and chest, you can always get the body taken in.

The key will just be finding a good tailor to nip the waist in. Even the shoulders can be brought in a touch if necessary. Based on the measurements of that coat, it runs pretty true to size.

I know that there might be quite a bit of tailoring involved in making the jacket look the way I want. Since I was willing to spend $800 or so for the tuxedo, I'm OK with spending a fair amount on the tailoring alone. Now I just need to find a good tailor.
