a 42L might possibly....

I know this jacket is a little wild, but the starting bid is only fifty bucks.. Someone here might make out pretty well, were they able to pull this one off: Alan Flusser sportcoat, ready for functional buttonholes: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....me=WDVW

What a waste of animal hair and human labor.

Well, I like it too. And it gives every indication of being (an as yet unfinished) bespoke Flusser. Funny how these things bubble up from time to time. (Which reminds me: I've had a suit in my closet for some time from that not-universally-respected guy who used to do the in-house custom tailoring at Bergdorf Goodman that I really must get buttons put on.) I will concede that such a jacket could present challenges to some wearers, but I think it's really nicely and tastefully finished. Flusser does a top-notch lapel buttonhole and the very slight angling of the pockets is a nice touch too.
Good thing, though, that no one used that BIN, thus avoiding the dreadful JA tie.
