Battistoni Sportcoat - Going Bespoke?

Hi all, I have recently visited Battistoni in Rome and tried on a sportcoat. The style and cut were fantastic but the imperfect fit stopped me from buying it. It was unlined, extremely light and comfortable, with spalla camicia shoulders, semi-open quarters, double vents and a nice nip at the waist....
