Thanks, hope it fits! If not, the same ebay store sells another couple nice giaccas a size bigger. I think they are all Harris tweed brand RTW...

Technically I haven't bought them yet but in a few days I'll go get measured for a pair of MTM light grey flannels, which are going to be my Christmas whim. Lumpen would kill me but I'm going to have them made in El Corte Ingles, their RTW fits well on me so it's basically choose cloth, tell them to make a huge leg opening for me and off we go.
Their RTW in my size is all dark, sad colors so I have no choice. They are such a staple and yet I can find fucking GREEN trousers but no light grey...
I thought you were a budding master tailor going by your waist coat attempts? Isn't trousers one of the easiest things to tailor? Certainly easier than a vest!

Bottom leg opening 28cm!!!!
I've measured my current rtw pents, 24 cm and they look tapered... Just keep in mind I have a 48 inch waist so straight pants are going to be naturally wide on the bottom... very wide.
^This forum has a lot of depressing posts, but that may be the winner.
Second pair of Mykita has arrived. I am obsessed
Shades or eyeglasses?

pents ordered. Vitale Barberis light grey woollen flannel, finally went with 25 cm. leg opening w/4.5 cm cuffs. two pleats, roomy overall. didn't set me back as much as I expected, hope they turn out well.
also found this on the bay and it had to come my way, tweed blazer (wonder why sellers put pins on the back of plus size garments. if I looked at just the picture I'd never have thought it would fit)

Almost a 10" leg opening? Yikes!
As I said above, I am large. Trust me 25 cm doesn't look disproportionate on me, it's even a slight taper. The base model for MTM had a 21 cm. opening and it looked terrible on me.
Are you tall?
Not at all, but too tapered just looks bad. Carrot man. 24 is the standard RTW opening for my size, I just went a cm. above.
Okey dokey smokey. Whatever works. Just can't see it
