    Keep in mind that English (and Scottish) tailoring is more exact than US tailoring. If it says 40R (UK) it's closer to a US 38R. The British tailors apparently use actual measurements of the jackets, not the men inside them. IE if your actual measurement IS a 42, you might wish to have a coat that doesn't fit you like a wet suit and order a 44.

    Sorry Mate. But on the upside, you'll still be able to play fussball with a full team.

    I won't post links for the three jackets I've lost out on this week, as it would make even the hardest man cry.


    Plus, with the money you save on amputation and these purchases, you could probably buy one of the STM'S new Linen Jackets
