The problem of RL jackets (included Purple RL and RRL) is they are shorts in Regular sizing.

Very Ivy/Preppy/Trad. Boola, Boola

It's called the Pee Wee Herman look.

Not the usual earthy tones on this Fox Brothers cloth made up in a Taillour jacket. Lovely nonetheless.

Lovely cloth and sharp cut on this Edward Sexton jacket.

Whoa. PeeWee Herman to the max. Unbelievable to me that a men’s wear company trying to attract clients to their site for bespoke and MTM would feature a fit as bad as this prominently on their website.

What a timing! I've just bought one of those used, it's at my alterations tailor at the moment. It really is gorgeous, the fabric shines like ember when the sun hits it.

I agree that the sleeves are too short and the body length could be somewhat extended, but, as I see, the fit is very good. The jacket looks clean and sharp.

A gorgeous tweed on this jacket in progress for @tdang.

Sorry, but I agree with tonicab and J.A.G. Frankly, the jacket (probably nice quality as it is) looks really bad on the guy. The shoulders seem to be OK, but the sleeve and jacket lengths seem to suggest the jacket is several sizes too small for him. Especially the sleeves.

Curious about the pukable jacket on display above, I went to the Sexton site and found this...

When compared with Edward, no tailor has achieved so much, nor captured such an extraordinary sense of the avant-garde in his work: of sex appeal, glamour, style or verve. And he chooses to cut super small, his little inside joke, because he knows you monkeys will go for anything if his name is slapped on it.

I would love to have an overcoat in this herringbone tweed.
