Ready to wear odd jacket sources

[TheDarkKnight]

I am currently scouting for an odd jacket or two, and have the following limited resources in mind for a RTW garment:

Brook Taverner and Charles Tyrwitt.

I wondered if you knew other great makers of ready to wear jackets please? Ideally I am looking for soft shouldered drape in the manner of Anderson and Sheppard or a Neapolitan or Roman shoulder with the accompanying slimmer fit.

I am a slim chap with a 37" chest so find the more built up shoulders and generous cuts are too big. Do you know any sites which fit these needs?

Flannels, windowpane checks, POWs and tweeds would all be awesome.

UK sites would be best for the inevitable trying, returning and buying.

Thanks All

Some of Hackett's stuff has soft shoulders, can't say whether it is much like A&S or a neapolitan cut, but a tweed jacket I have from there has no shoulder padding, and I have a summer jacket from there that is entirely unstructured.
There stuff is generally quite slim as well. You really have to get to a shop and try it, or perhaps call and ask them about specific items as not all of their stuff is soft shouldered.

Apart from that, some RL made in Italy stuff is fairly soft shouldered, although not a lot like the styles you mentioned, there is a new UK website, but not many odd jackets on it yet.

Hi and thanks ysc.

Some of the Hackett jackets look good, although they are a little expensive - I could get a MTM one for £400 so I'm looking at £200 for jackets, £100 for trousers
