... is really difficult. I've searched the Red White & Blue, and obviously need to search more thrift stores. All I'm looking for is a solid black wool jacket, single breasted. Not a tuxedo jacket. No pinstripes or patterns. I don't even care if it's huge, as I could get it tailored. Any I've seen that fit this description on Ebay are really

The hubs is a 35 S in jackets. The only place we ever had any luck was at Mens Wearhouse, having them special order the size in the style he wanted.

Thanks! I will check them out. :)

Have you tried the vintage section of ebay? Shoulders can be narrower in older clothing.

[ravencreature]

I have! It's just more expensive :P

Boxy, older women's jackets might be your best bet. Jackets that are long and come over the hips with boxy shoulders (you can always remove the shoulder pads if necessary).

I really really really like that first jacket :)

And there IS always special ordering.

Hrm. Wonder if boxy will work on me. I guess so, as my shoulders are already square.

Which jacket? The one I usually end up wearing probably. I love it! I did find a new favorite, a nice wool and my favorite shade of green.

Well, they become a bit LESS boxy if you take the shoulder pads out (because they, inevitably, have them), but I mainly said go for boxy because they'll typically be longer instead of cropped, and they'll be less girly/frilly.

And I want to see this green jacket!

I may actually be out tonight in the Quarter for a short time, if you're about :)
