Ah interesting! I somehow read welted pockets as quite formal and flannel much more casual.A flannel suit should have welted or flapped pockets, I think. It's a business suit. Patch pockets would be too casual for a material like that.

I have one of their belts. I wear size 30 trousers and their size 80 belt fits perfectlyI miss the patch pockets on their odd jackets... I still hope they will make a comeback every season.
Though for suit jackets I think the welted pockets are ideal, even if somewhat less practical than patch pockets (IMO).
Has anybody tried their belts? I find the sizing advice somewhat odd: "For an ideal fit, we recommend ordering a belt size 5 cm less than your waist measuremen".
Normally, I would have thought you'd order 5cm more? (E.g. a 36" belt for 34" trousers).
I posted the following on this thread before.Ah interesting! I somehow read welted pockets as quite formal and flannel much more casual.
Are you willing to post a picture of you wearing the jacket? There are a dearth of pictures of people wearing B&B jackets.View attachment 1540200
I got myself their Dante sports coat from this F/W season with - yes - jetted pockets. I like them because it adds some diversity to my collection.
I do believe that it's still a rather casual piece because of what it is - a sports coat.
I can relate to that. Hopefully the low-quality pics without proper lighting and a model who knows how to pose in front of the camera still give an idea of the fit. We probably can't deny that the colors in their editorial are more realistic.Are you willing to post a picture of you wearing the jacket? There are a dearth of pictures of people wearing B&B jackets.
This looks great--only complaint is I personally prefer not to show any shirt/knit below the buttoning point when the jacket is buttoned up, but to each their own.I can relate to that.

Comments and feedback are of course very welcome (I am an adult, I can take them).

You're right, I absolutely agree. 2-3 kilos less around the belly might help ;-)This looks great--only complaint is I personally prefer not to show any shirt/knit below the buttoning point when the jacket is buttoned up, but to each their own.
Thanks! This is somewhat helpful. You will get better, less distorted pics, if the camera is higher up. With a lower camera angle, your shoulders will look smaller, and your stomach will look bigger. Having the camera a bit farther away can also help minimize distortions.I can relate to that.

Yes, 48 is my standard and the measurements on the site matched my favorite MTMs.Looks great! Did you take your regular size?
Just out of curiosity, are you a tall guy? Either you are tall, or the jacket has a lengthening effect. The jacket looks good on you, btw.View attachment 1540335
Thanks for your advice - new try: Different angle at least, probably need better lighting for less distortion (and a better camera, but will probably stick to watching instead of posting pics here).

1.83m, rather average. I have relatively long and thin legs, but the jacket covers my butt, following the strict SF rules. Thanks for the compliment!Just out of curiosity, are you a tall guy? Either you are tall, or the jacket has a lengthening effect. The jacket looks good on you, btw.
