Also I feel like Rick may have a deal we haven’t seen before...
90% off???
It looks great. Length looks good. Shoulders not bad. One side has a divot but the other shoulder looks smooth. Are your other sport coats on the short side? Hourglass shape to the body. I don’t know what a tailor could do. Looks fine to me.View attachment 1074874 View attachment 1074880 Used to be a S&M 34 jacket but they discontinued that size and when the red/brown gun check came out I thought I’d give the slim 36s a shot. It is slightly larger than most of my other sport costs, and I’ll probably have a tailor clean it up a little but the shoulders are my biggest concern and I’m not sure they can do much for that. Any feedback on the fit here?
How you want your jacket to fit is up to you but I don't think you really need a short, may just be the angle though. Besides that the shoulder would bother me too. The body doesn't look large but you may be used to a tighter fit. Can you get a picture of the back?View attachment 1074874 View attachment 1074880 Used to be a S&M 34 jacket but they discontinued that size and when the red/brown gun check came out I thought I’d give the slim 36s a shot.

Thanks for your feedback. The inconsistent shoulder issue is a result of scoliosis (womp womp). Therefore, it definitely fits better on my left shoulder than my right. I appreciate the feedback on the length as well. Not sure I'm a short either, but at 5'7" I didn't want to gamble on the regular. Overall very happy with the fit and loooove the fabric. I regret passing on the grey POW.
@spiermackay deets on the cloth for the "VBC Green Check"? It is listed as all season weight, but I'm interested in texture/weave information. (11oz flannel might technically be all season weight but I don't want to wear it in the summer!)
