Magnoli Clothiers: My new belted-back jacket

[Barry]

It arrived yesterday. I took some photos this afternoon after wearing it around since early this morning. It's 11oz "marsh brown" tweed.

I love it!

The fabric looks great. I like the buttons too.

That looks great - the material is a gas. The bespoke buttons are especially nice. The original did not have that back pleating at all? Or that big dimple style back pleat?

Excellent jacket Barry. You wear it well!

Does the back have a pleat or dart?
That is a good looking jacket.

 

[Barry]

There are darts on the back. I'll get another photo up later on tonight.

Thanks.

That's a real nice jacket, Barry. At first glance the color combination of pants and jacket reminded me of Sean Connery in Goldfinger when Oddjob demonstrates his hat and such at the golf course.

Thanks guys...

The trousers are Bill's Khakis gabardine (British Khaki, I think). The jacket might look a bit better with a darker pair of trousers. Either way, it's a fine jacket. It's comfortable, fits well and the price was right.

Mr. Fox at W.M. Fox and Co. in DC took the measurements and that was a big help. Indy Magnoli mentioned that the original arm-hole measurement seemed a bit like a modern measurement. We tweaked it a couple of inches and it worked out perfectly.

Great jacket!

Great jacket, but have you considered having matching pants made while the fabric is still available?

Might be glad you did.

Too sharp! Okay, there's no such thing as too sharp really, but if there was, you'd be it! What a superb jacket.
