A slim fit jacket similar to this dobby tech jacket?

[k3n]

I really want this jacket, but the circumference of the bottom opening is too big; although this wouldn't be a problem for those with pot belly's. I'm a skinny guy (6 feet tall 160 lbs) who prefers slim fits, even slim jeans as well.

With a large the bottom opening is too big, making easy for wind to makes its way up. With medium, the opening isn't as big, but its quite restrictive for my long arms.

Can anyone recommend a gray (slim fit) gray/darkish gray light jacket, that doesn't have a "goosebump" feeling to it, especially along the sleeves.

I came across a Zero-Xposur (JC Penney), Free Country (Kohl's), & Izod (JCPenney), similarities.

Can anyone recommend any other best match? I also need it to have button's/velcro, in case the zipper breaks off.

You may have to read a bunch of reviews, but people usually comment if a fit is loose or tight.

Could always get the jacket tailored to fit the way you want it.

I've checked on that. My local seamstress charges a hundred bucks for custom jacket work.
No one else in town is cheaper.

I've gotten dress suits/pants customized for $40 a pair.

Yeah but suits and pants are easier than a jacket, I think.

I wouldn't think so when I had to have material cut out of both to make them slimmer for me.

None of those meet my requirements.

Anyone know a good/different site, to view different jackets that may meet my criteria?

steepandcheap sells quality stuff at discount regularly, like hiking/camping/outdoors wear kind of stuff. most of those jackets will have drawstrings on the bottom so you can get the fit you want to keep the wind out.

I'm short as shit and between kid's and men's sizes, so I've looked into tailoring/ modifications in the past.

Difficulty is a case by case thing and depends on a bunch of things. There's only so much a tailor can do before the original design is affected. Cost is also a case by case thing. You'll probably find a seamstress fresh out of an Asian factory and newly immigrated cheaper. Point is to talk to a tailor and ask what he/she can do.
