    Very sharp. If only I could find something that would fit me, as I have a small torso and really long arms.

    The good thing is that you only have to make sure the sleeves are the right length. The jacket will be cut to be above the bottom of the fell (the bottom of the sewn down part of the pleats) by about 1".
    Good hunting,

    Sorry, I guess I should explain. When I said small torso, I meant in diameter. My torso is of average length, but to put it bluntly, I am skinny. Anything that doesn't come to half way down my forearms generally looks like a tent on me. I will find something one of these days though.
