Yes. Did you get the idea from some of the nice sportcoats Michael Alden has?

Nice coat and amazing fabric.

But I have a question considering the fitting process. In my first fitting only the body of the coat is prepared. The sleeves are attached (basted on) during the second. This coat seems a bit advanced for a first fitting. Is this common practice?

The sleeves are just basted on, that is why you see the overt puckering at the sleevehead.

I like the voluptuous lapels even though I wouldn't get that for myself.

Another example of what phage is describing, in the most extreme visual contrast case (a dinner jacket):

our tailor learned that is totally useless fitting Jan. He keeps getting fatter.
