I'm with Turpin on this. On the other hand, for two bucks you can always try again!

I know that my first one is OK, but I'm kind of itching to tackle another tweed jacket from the thrift shop 'cause 1.) I cut the first one a little bit short and 2) I did a less than stellar job on the lapel when I moved it up and added a buttonhole above the top one that was originally there and 3) the angle I cut to clear the sporran has a little bit TOO much curve in it, as opposed to what my eye suggests you've got going here.

Mind you, this is prety blinkin'' nitpicky criticism on my part. Ths't still a good looking jacket, though yeah, wear it un-buttoned.
