Yes, a little nod to the military jackets these styles evolved from.

I like it too Zardoz. Well done!

I can't tell from the photo, do the buttoned open parts on the tails have facing material shining out or are they the same material as the outside of the jacket?

Excellent!!!
Very modern look for a classic ensemble!

IMHO, that looks way nicer than a PC. The streamlined look is formal and classic, but also individual. Nice work!

Same material as the outside, kept it simple!
