You know, this jacket conversion might work best if you get your size in a long version, like for me a 42L. It would give you a bit more room to play with the sweep, and you can always take up the sleeves if need be. Just a thought.

I never wanted to say anything because your directions were so well-written and precise that I wasn't sure you didn't cut it just how you wanted it Alan. But now that you bring it up yourself, I can be as agreeable as the next guy.
For $40 for an alteration, though, I'll just pay the lady and sew on some leather instead. It's more time-efficient.
