not to discount the efficency of a longer coat, but I'll add the personal input that my lightweight down-filled ma-1 is one of my most worn jackets

it's tough, these really are the kinds of situations where it would benefit you greatly if you either had a local store that did certified good work or if you know someone irl who dresses well enough to be able to help you

the most interesting but most obscure place I could find is some place called DiPietros custom clothing a bit south of where you are, with basically 0 online presence or actual images examples of her work

- "avengers vintage" looks kind of cool
- "vintage vault" have two locations so could probably ask an SA in either one if they ever have some mens tailoring,
- "above snakes" looks solid but don't carry tailoring but might be worth asking the people working there if they have any ideas/suggestions
- bert and jess looks like a better jos a banks, could have something good in theory but would probably require the assistance of bringing someone with you who really knows what theyre doing

I'm personally a big proponent of vintage/thrifted tailoring, but idk where youre located or how the selection looks around you so might be more effort than it is worth @ryn80

I will say though that your jacket length is pretty good, usually with high buttoning stances the jackets will be very short, but the good length is also what makes the high button look even more odd relative to that

and then if you go double breasted the buttoning should in most cases go even lower, in that case it can work if the top button is around a midrise point

someone skinny (and/or with wide shoulders) will also be able to wear a higher button, since they have a more natural V-shape already and a jacket wont be able to turn them into an A-shape
