Finally, there’s circumstance and environment. A supermodel hanging on your elbow will get you into the most exclusive clubs known to man. She will also let you get away with breaking sartorial rules. Add champagne and perhaps a cigar, and you’ll look good in anything.

Lovely as a DB is (and it is – it can be so flattering and masculine), the style is always at risk of looking formal or old-fashioned.It also shows how nice a variegated horn button is on this cloth – and perhaps how it would look with a normal 6x2 button configuration on the front. This is very odd! Last year I saw a photo of Stan Laurel on the Queen Mary wearing what I later identified as a Polo/Wrap coat which I learned were very popular pre-war. When seated, however, one had to keep unbuttoned all functioning outer buttons whilst keeping the inner, jigger, button securely buttoned.

But here it worked fine, and presuming the belt stays fastened, the whole front of the body is protected from the wind and the cold. A piece of fabric folded over itself in an accordion fashion. typical of men’s trouser fronts, they allow more space for the hips, especially when sitting. US ) A double-ended vessel, generally of stainless steel or other metal, one end of which typically measures 1½ fluid ounces (approx. 44ml), the other typically 1 fluid ounce (approx. 30ml). Some minefields and ten-foot bargepoles here. Whether one looks old-fashioned, contrived, stiff, or anachronistic depends on so many outside factors, most of which bear no relation to tailoring or the clothes themselves. Celebrities, for instance, get away with anything. Because people don’t just look at the clothes. They look at the wearer.

From the very beginning, we discussed the design of the coat as one which could be reversed later on. The diagram below shows how the hook and bar are normally positioned for a waistband that has an extended tab such as on the Dior Homme trousers above. The diagram also shows the position of the small internal button, sometimes called a jigger button, that helps to take some of the strain off the hook and bar closure. This internal button must be placed accurately so that the hook and bar can sit closed correctly. If the jigger button is not taking the strain of the waistband, then the hook and bar closure will look as though it is pulling open. A hook and bar fastening is a popular choice for the closure on tailored trousers, skirts and other garments. It is an alternative to a button closure, particularly where a clean, minimal look is required. It is also a fairly secure fastening that can generally hold more strain than a hook and eye fastening (which is normally just used as a light weight closure where two edges meet, rather than overlap). So what do you think? Did the experiment work or should it be reversed? I’m erring towards keeping it as it is, but I’m still not entirely sure.
