I had my Billy Reid coat tailord last month but didn't realize it has no vent on the back. So I'm wondering if it's possible to have it vented since it would look more natural. Thanks!

Pretty sure the vents require a little extra cloth, so maybe if you're ok with the process bringing the sides in a little bit.

Also, where's the lining fabric going to come from?

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see other threads on this same topic. This is probably the second most started thread by n00bz, right behind "Help me pick my suit for my wedding/job interview/prom."

It took you one whole month to realize the jacket is ventless?
