Thanks for the shots. Feels good wearing a suit!
Lefty said:I picked up this orphaned jacket at a thrift store today. At first, my intention was simply to post it for sale here. After trying it on, however, I'm wondering if it might be possible to have it tailored to fit me. I've never started with something this small. What do you think? Can it be done? As discussed in the blue DB question, does wearing this as an odd jacket even make sense?

Great suit! Do you mind telling us what brand it is?

Photos aren't great, it's hard to photograph this suit.
Didn't have to alter the jacket but the trousers were too short so I sacrificed the cuffs and added 2" faux cuffs.
