Thanks for the helpful suggestion.

John Molloy bolts are 150 cm (59') wide -- do you reckon two meters would be enough to cut a sportscoat with four patch pockets for a size 36 slim man?

If you have a tailor in mind the safest course of action is to ask his advice. Usually though, 2 metres at that width(full width) is sufficient for a coat, but you require patch pockets, so given the price I'd get 2.5 metres to be on the safe side. But, the best thing to do is ask your tailor as was said. Enjoy your sportcoat.

Just noticed, 4 patch pockets? Inspiration Michael Gambon in Gosford Park perhaps...?

36 chest, 2 metres will be more than enough!
