I do still own it, though it's too big for me especially through the shoulders, but I'll get a pic as suggested. It does indeed have a lot of padding extending into the sleevehead.
The only thing pointing me to late 20s was the shoulders. I too am not well versed in the vagaries of 20s men's fashions. Leyendecker (and ilk) illustrations are always so extreme and unreal-looking that I find it difficult to use them as a reliable date guide.

This is awesome, Gianfrancesco (i'm trying to get the thread opened again that you started!). I love the lapel shape, and the fabric is killer.:eusa_clap To put photos in your post, take the web address of the photo and put it between the image code
A ginger herringbone tweed I'll be selling. Size is about 38R, though made by Drapeshire, and very drapey chest, so maybe supposed to be for size 36-37? Late 30s/Early 1940s.
