Yes, very good,but don't forget the usual double vent at the back of the jacket and a nice useful touch, I can't quite see on the pictures above if its there, and often neglected, is a button hole on the left lapel.

I was rather taken aback to see that this very important (to me anyway) bit of tailoring has largely disappeared from off the peg jackets. I have a lapel "button insignia" of the US Navy officer's cap badge (about 1/2" 13mm tall) dating from WW I. It is not a pin, but more like a collar button, to be worn in the button hole in the left lapel. I am also old enough to remember when a man often wore a flower in that buttonhole whenever he went out.
