I went with the “yellow” sport jacket from ModainStyle and it was a good choice since it’s more brownish and a great looking jacket! It does have a light yellow glen-plaid pattern with blue window pane.
The fabric, correctly marked as viscose (rayon) from bamboo – same process as normal rayon that is made from wood fibers is really soft and silky. It will be the perfect summer jacket.
The brand,Metamoda Firenze 1970, is a label created by Moda in Style and offers authentic Italian clothing at affordable prices!
Most of the fabrics used with this label come from Biella, manufactured by Luigi Botto,Policarpo, Zignone, etc. They are great fabrics at a lower cost, but on par with bettern know manufacturers like Loro Piana, Zegna, Cerruti 1881.
The made in Italy jacket is half canvassed and half lined (again perfect for spring/summer/autumn wear in Southern California) and has nice looking elbow patches giving it a distinctive sport jacket style element. And it’s well made, including lining up the pattern at the sleeve to the body.
I have not taken this to my alterations tailor before the photos, but it seems to fit fine. Maybe shorten the left sleeve? It’s a notch lapel, two button, double vent, and look at this unique sleeve button treatment.
The jacket has working buttons/holes but very cleverly the two bottom sleeve buttons are left closed so your tailor can shorten the jacket from the sleeve end. When working sleeve buttons are finished many tailors often refuse to do the work or charge more. You can open the button holes by just slitting them, but it’s better to have the tailor do it.
