edbrown said:Yes, small world. As I said in email - my son had a great letter from her Grace.
Unfortunately we don't have any seconds, even worse news is the price is likely to go up during the year due to an increase in material costs.
I'm looking intot he research element the manufacturer carried out and will let you know in due course.

I may see if a friend of mine who is a seamstress (well, she does quilting) might consider making me one...

I understand that most smoking jackets are formal velvet jackets worn in the smoking room when dining. Typically, they are dark green, dark violet, black, burgundy or dark blue.
A jacket that will protect me and my clothes from the smoke smell and the occasional hot ash.
Thanks,
Pyro.

Obviously, without me showing the details you can't see them, but there is a chest pocket, 2 waist pockets (all with piping), an internal chest pocket, and 2 cigar pockets.
