Matt,
Will you have fabric samples at Stone Mountain?

I hope, but we'll see!
Ideally I'll have a couple of completed jackets made up to show, as well as sample swatches of the available colors. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

It allows you to roll up the sleeves - just in case you have to perform surgery but want to remain stylish.
And Matt, when are we going to get the "full frontal" photo? 
I notice that this is a "Wallace" style jacket - will it be available with a single front button as well?

Sounds to me like this is the kind of jacket that would be perfect year round in Florida. Will "made to measure" extend to those of us well past the moniker of substantial?
58 chest with a 10" drop here...
Have fun and throw far. In that order, too. - o1d_dude

While I am sure there may be a surcharge for sizing beyond a certain point, we should be able to accommodate different shapes and sizes. So long as you can provide us with accurate measurements our tailors will do the job!

I think of it the same as asking why have a self-tie necktie when a clip on is easier and does the job just as well? The answer is that an imitation is rarely as good as the real thing.
Actually, this feature does not impact the cost of the jacket significantly, and in our minds adds a lot in terms of quality and distinctiveness.
(However, if you really must have fake buttons on your cuffs, we can certainly handle that by special request).

I know the color looks entirely different in the two photos, but that's the same jacket. The first photo was taken outside, in natural light, early evening, no flash. The second photo was taken inside, using both natural light from a nearby window with an overhead flourescent light in addition, no flash. It never ceases to amaze me how slightly different lighting conditions can have such a great effect on the color in photographs.
To my eye, the close-up photo comes closer to the look of the actual cloth, though.
And yes, I am quite pleased about the functional buttons, as well.

I hear that! I sometimes spend upwards of 20 min/ per photo to get the colour of my pix corrected to most closely resemble in-person viewing.
If the fabric is very near to the colour in the close-up, we may have to talk very soon.

Well that makes absolute sense to me. Plus functional cuff buttons too! Its all got to be good.

I was still (somehow) managing to resist until you put up that last photo. Now one of these jackets has been added to (the top of) my list of "must haves".
You may be getting an angry letter from my wife...
