I'm also surprised that Roger went with a Hong Kong factory (I called the factory today to confirm). If MAGA is about making America great again through reindustrialization, why not use a US factory? Over at O'Connell's, you can find MiUSA tailoring for half of Roger's prices

Instead, these jackets should be delivered with what's called "unfinished sleeves," which means the buttonholes haven't been made and the buttons come in a little plastic pouch. This way, your tailor punches the buttonholes only after they've adjusted the sleeves to fit you.

In this sense, the three-roll-two closure somewhat disappoints me, as I would have liked to see it combined with other classic American details. I think you would get a better American-styled jacket nowadays through Tailor CAID in Tokyo.

Most importantly, a classic American jacket lacks front darts, which are the stitched down folds that give a garment shape. This again was part of the democratic ethos, as it gave American tailoring straighter sides that fit a wider range of body types.

Classic American style was also expressed through the idiosyncratic two-button cuff, often made with the buttons slightly spaced apart (but not so much that a third button could fit between them). Even Bernie Sanders understands this look, which is why it's surprising Roger doesn't.

... through the Great Depression and onto the Ivy campuses of a booming post-war America. A soft, natural shoulder is critical because it creates a more casual look embodies this nation's democratic spirit.

After all, those are the defining hallmarks of Brooks Brothers No. 1 Sack Suit, which set the template for classic American tailoring ever since it debuted in the early 20th century. The Sack Suit carried American men from hopping jazz clubs of the Roaring Twenties ...

Did all the area caterers say no?

Gotta wear it with those shoes, though
