This might be a stupid question, but is it possible to get a Neapolitan cut jacket without the 3-roll-2 button closure (I just want 2 buttons)?

I like the cut but am not personally a big fan of the hidden top button.

Finally! This is the one I've been waiting for.

Yes, I've done this on a couple of MTO suits. I just asked for a 2 button front in the order notes.

Yes it is possible. Just add to the notes section of a custom order.

None. Work great with gray and brown jackets.

Agreed, as long as they have some texture. Smooth worsteds in navy tend to look like orphaned suit trousers. They need a bit of texture in the same way a gray sportcoat need texture to avoid looking like an orphaned suit jacket.

I'm particularly fond of navy moleskin as an odd trouser myself.

Was looking for this S&M Harris Tweed Green Check sport coat since I missed out in FW19 (I only started dressing better in 2019 really)

I posted in the B&S thread and thanks to @Imperatores he noted a buddy in UK had one for sale in the exact size I wanted on eBay!

The guy luckily was more than willing to ship to Canada, and rest is history.

I am in love, this was well worth the $$ and think it fits me perfectly tbh. May need sleeves shortened by ~0.5” like my other S&M sport coat, but this is literally my favourite.

Thanks again @Imperatores!

Looks amazing! I was hoping you'd post a pic here once you received it. Fit looks excellent for RTW (agree that the sleeves need shortening). I'd need to see the back before I'd call it "perfect", but the front looks pretty close to it indeed. Probably the best fitting S&M garment I can remember you posting. Very pleased that you're so happy with it!
