I'm headed over to Herald Square tomorrow with the hopes of picking one of these up. I'll report back with my results!

It's definitely not sized like an H&M cut. I still haven't bought it. In the meantime, I moved into a beautiful new apartment with a gated backyard garden and patio - for more than double what I was paying before. I don't have the jacket/suit, and I'm still very happy - go figure! lol

That sounds like you will be very near Ginger Man - one of the best beer halls in town! I'd invite you out for a drink but I will be working at the US Open tomorrow out on Long Island.

Ok, I got one! I got the brown stripe weave color. There were no pants to match, so I got a pair of white with pinstripe that compliment the jacket nicely.
The fit is good. Not "vintage", but also not skinny waif. I'm a 44R and the Large fits perfectly.
The nautural color was on clearance, and there was only a size small left!

Any chance of some pictures Flat-Top?
For $75 (plus tailoring) it seems like a decent deal!

I've removed the pocket flaps and their buttons from my Tasso for a more purely 1930s look.

Not too bad. I've had modern day jackets with much lower holes.
Great! I'm tempted at that price.
I've been pleasantly surprised by higher arm holes lately. In this older thread I was quite pleased with these armholes on this linen suit from a Brooks Brothers outlet: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=42490

Orgetorix: Size L (42-44). I'm normally a 43R and this is dead-on.
flat-top: Be very very careful. The fabric is fine enough that it's hard to tell it from the stitch threads.

Do you think the size L has enough in the sleave to make it a 42-44 long?

cookie: As of late Macy*s had no matching trou for any of the beltbacks.
I did find a pair of Bobby Jones trou in a linen-cotton fabric that are very close, but not a dead match. The Tasso cloth (at top of pic) has a slight yellowish cast, and a fine greyish slub running thru it.
This type of matching used to be fairly common, and tailors would advertise trou made to match your jacket. OTR makers today tend to source their fabrics exclusively, so nothing will quite match.
Edward: I take a 35 shirtsleeve and the sleeves are just right on me as is. There's at least 1" more inside the cuff, but the lining is pretty short and would need to be faced.
