I should really set up a thread for the jacket, rather than hog this one.

Not in the typical TFL member idea of done, but in done done.
I know! This is virgin territory for me and I have been spoiled with having Aero down the road to indulge my 'can you fix this stitch please...' requests. But... and I know it sounds a bit mad... based on the measurements I gave John, taken expertly and repeatedly by my other half, and what I know of the jackets I own now, it *looks* right. We'll find out shortly, though!
My other, slightly greater fear is that I'll like it so much that I find myself jumping back in the queue immediately...
Been looking for one in good condition that should fit. One that will preclude my purchasing LW's version. Fingers crossed this is the one, and then I am done. Not in the typical TFL member idea of done, but in done done. I have what I need...and the wife is starting to look askance at me. (Though if I move a few maybe not done done. But for now, done).

Then perhaps a slow down in the acquisition process. I need to let Jejupe and the rest of the hares go, embrace my inner turtle.
Done!
