Final fitting for this overcoat. She thought the shoulders were a little too extended, raised the buttoning point one cm, took the back in a bit, raised the belt in the back, View attachment 1472666 View attachment 1472667 View attachment 1472668 View attachment 1472669 View attachment 1472670 pulled the collar a little tighter and has to angle the breast pocket down a bit. Ended up too straight after the other changes.
Fitting for a charcoal suit. Fabric is much darker in person. Looks very light in this photo. Had a sleeve but was too tight. View attachment 1472671 View attachment 1472672 View attachment 1472673 View attachment 1472674
Yeah, I wrote raised on accident. She lowered the buttoning point because she was worried the top buttons would be too high. Until looking at your pics just now, I never paid attention to actually how low the buttons are on those. Changes the whole feel of the coat.FWIW, I think polo coats look better with a slightly dropped buttoning point. It makes the style look more louche and casual. Some examples

When you set the buttoning point closer at the natural waist, it ends up looking more like a regular double-breasted overcoat in tan, rather than the trad-y British/ American style of a polo coat.

There is a photo of the fabric with selvedge in the post. I don’t have much more info. It’s 280g.what fabric is this charcoal?
This is the picture I gave her when we started a year and a half ago. A pic from the tailor who made me a blue overcoat years ago. Like you said, I just ordered a double breasted overcoat in tan. Luckily for me, she seems to have turned it into a polo coat. As well as the lower buttons, she asked if she could change the lapel from the one in the pic I gave her to one more like the pics you posted.FWIW, I think polo coats look better with a slightly dropped buttoning point.

Judging by that, he probably keeps his pornography in a file labeled, "polo coats," to throw people off.
Client stopped by recently and said "My wife thinks I'm having an affair instead of visiting the tailor because she doesn't think anyone can look at cloth samples for 3-4 hours at a time".when she finds a folder on your computer titled "p0rn" and finds out it's shoe Appreciation
