This has a higher 3/2 roll like many Hiltons did. The lapel roll is a true roll, not a foldover. Great narrow lapels, partially lined, lap seams, hook vent. Plus a removable throat latch with stowaway MOP buttons on the interior--fantastic! I have Norman Hilton tweed from Richard's in both a suit and a sportcoat plus a few ties. It must have been a fantastic place.

They literally don't make 'em this way anymore.
