I came across this picture of an outstanding looking velvet blazer on Alan Flussers website. I think I need one. Short of having one made (probably will not get worn more than 10x / yr.), anyone know of a decent OTR buy?

I'm not loving the lapel treatment, or the ensemble.

But I'm not a velvet lover generally.

Tomasso, I think mack11211 may be referring the the 'Chesterfield' effect, that's been created by way of the different velour fabric used on the upper notch of the lapel?

I was referring to the shape: the height and angle of the gorge, the width of the lapel, the way it starts above the third button, etc.
