Jacket looks great! That's a proper sharkskin if ever I saw one.

If you are willing to venture beyond the city limits (by way of short train ride from grand central terminal), then I would register an emphatic recommendation for blue hill at stone barns.

I used to think this was a uniquely A&S touch, but my four Poole jackets and one from Steed all have two-hole buttons, and in none of these cases did I specifically request them.
