I apologize for not responding to this sooner, I was at the tailor getting the cuffs of a shirt altered and the sides/sleeves taken in for $20 and $40 respectively. I will get the shirt back in a week and post fit pics. Same thing as above, except you have to watch everyone you love experience it with you. That's literally the worst fate I can imagine.

Foo, I hope all this is helping.

Well, I've already learned of a confirmed error: wrong lining color. Sigh. This seems to be a consistent issue. Thankfully, it is marginal. They're going to ship now and if I don't like the lining, they'll change it later.

How many buttons this time?

No. That would have not been marginal for me.

The lining will look different in different lights anyway.

Yes, but they have a tendency to do string of orders using the same color lining. If they're going to ignore my requests, I'd rather them all be random.

This lining will be green--I can only hope it will be a dark, bottle green as opposed to a light mossy green.

I was struggling to imagine a lining that I would find objectionable, but that's definitely one example.

It works well with a tan tweed.

At the rate my MBT is going, that might be a real possibility on my next commission.

If it's the same green they used for Bill's grey suit, you're in luck. Looks awesome - it even convinced me to use green for the grey suit I'm wearing today.

I don't know which green it is--it's whatever green Mariano put in his exact same suit. Apparently, they default to that combo.

It will look good, I have the same combo on today.

I've never chosen a lining other than asking for Bemberg or ermazine.

So, I comprehend not your anguish.
