Thank you Stitchwiz. I am grateful for this once in a lifetime opportunity to own a bit of treasure, and I'm delighted how it turned out. The attention to detail is everywhere to be seen, from the line matching, to the lining. See this image of the place where the cuff meets the sleeve.



I have looked quite closely, but cannot see how the tailor sewed in the raised lines of the cuff and managed to get these lines right through up the sleeve. The cloth is very heavy and weather resistant. It has started to snow here, but I wore it out 3 times last week quite comfortably.
