I am sorry that I lost track of this thread and missed your excellent response. I agree, and found it difficult to articulate to my friend why this would not work. I think a 3 button jacket is a better choice in this case anyway, they usually look pretty good on me. In all fairness to the lady in question, she is one of the snappiest dressers I know, even when reduced to flea market shopping for all of her clothing. Occasionally Sartorialist level material. She did once rescue me from an atrocious wardrobe (early 90's Structure
