Jacket help.

Yes, Captain Tonga, there can be changes in your body shape over your twenties that will make all your jackets hopelessly unfitting. Somewhere in my mid-twenties the bone structure of my shoulders widened and it was very sad to have lost several very high quality suits to that effect.

You can, though, always find others who will be glad to have what no longer fits you.

I agree completely with everything MacMillan of Rathdown and Puffer wrote.

Nothing looks as good as fine clothing, and a well-turned out gentleman is still in demand and appreciated. YOu might be like me. I was still able to wear trousers and suits at aged 30 that I had bought at age 17. (I have sense gotten over all that, but that's another story.)

Money spent on good clothes is money well spent. An inexpensive kilt is fine, but it doesn't match a custom tank and never will. So, as asked above, what can you and will you spend?

However, you really should at least consider having a nice jacket customized. A good tailor like Victoria can do wonders with a regular jacket, and it is nearly like a custom made argyl in that it can be fitted to you.

Good look in whatever you choose. Like you, I could wait to get a good tweed jacket myself.
