Havana Plain Blue in 42L (102). I already have a Havana in 102 (posted on page 474) but the fit between the two feels different, there really is variation between pieces with SS.

I like the fabric, color and the look in general, except for the sleeves which I believe are two short. Before I decide to go for extending the sleeves, I wanted to get your opinion on the general fit. Also, if I were to extend the sleeves, by how much according to you? Is it a complex/costly procedure?

Thanks a lot, as usual

Fit looks good to me and the back pretty much covers your arse. I have long arms too and SS can usually extend about an inch max. I think that might be enough to where the sleeves aren't still too short yet allow your shirt cuffs to peak through.

Does it feel tight to you? Looks a little tight in the shoulders and body. If you want a trim look, you found it.

Would this Lazio jacket work as an odd jacket/sports coat? It doesn't have patch pockets, but since it's flannel and heavier, I was thinking flap pockets would be fine.

You need to shorten your shirt sleeves.

Tuck in the the flap pockets and I think it'll work.

The light brown buttons do help too.

Thanks, TopCat. But wouldn't tucking the flaps make the pockets look like besom pockets? I haven't actually tried this on my York, so I don't know what it would look like.

It does. I've never tried it either, but on this video it looks like it works pretty well:
