While we're sharing about our recent purchases, I want to applaud the Angelico shepherd's check jacket. I bought it on the sale on sale. Soft fabric with good drape, light enough to handle fall and spring duty, and lends itself well to blue or gray pants.

A lot of sportsjacket I see do not have the 38L option. The Long sizing starts at 40 which I find wierd, because already at 38L you have to be 6ft1 (or have a very long torso) (my size is 6ft2 and I believe i'm in between L and R). 40 42 and 44L must be quite rare combinations, but at least they have it available. Why is 38L left out? (again, some sportscoat have that option so i'm a bit confused!)
Thanks:)

I'm also 6'2, but wish there was an extra long. The 42L I have is barely/borderline long enough as it is.

I'm guessing there aren't many people who are 6'2 but also slim/small enough to need a 38. When I was a senior in high school I was 6'2, 160lbs and I still took a 40L at that point.

Are you aware of the MTO program?

Yeah, of course. I've bought one RTW sport coat from you all. If another is in the works I'll highly consider MTO.

Speaking of which, I asked a question the other day about the availability of tweed for a MTO suit.

Tweed for MTO will become available in July/August. A good chunk of options from Moon will up.
