I have the check moon tweed from last season and I love it. My only complaint is that maybe because of the fabric being so thick it doesn’t drape so well especially by the vents. I know it’s tweed and it’s supposed to be thick but I have another donegal jacket that just drapes better and doesn’t feel so “spongy”. I hope these new tweed jackets drape better.

That's Moons standard tweed. The Merino is much denser but has a thinner feel.

Seconding the original poster.

I have an MTO Neapolitan and it doesn't really work for me. I feel like the broad shoulders, lower gorge, and convex lapel all have a tendency to make a person look squatter and wider, which isn't good for me.

But I usually like how others look in the cut.

A separate issue is that "Neapolitan cut" isn't really an accurate name. Isn't it more of a riff on the NMWA Eidos cut, which is in turn a riff on the Liverano cut? In which case it should technically be called Florentine?
I wasn't aware that the Neapolitan cut had broader shoulders than the standard? Is that actually reflected in measurements?

Not sure. Might just be the way my MTO turned out. Others can chime in on how the OTR fit is.

Hopefully with the summer sale ending tonight there could be fall drops next week.

someone convince me to or not to buy the "fresco tobacco sportcoat"
It came back in my size.

I have the matching trouser, but I rarely wear a suit nor sport coat. ?
