That must mean something.


Drape also rhymes with crepes, a tasty treat indeed. Perhaps we can break into crepe v. pancake factions.

Because I am backing crepes, I will declare them the breakfast food of the naturally elegant and nonchalant. Those who prefer pancakes do not understand the true artistry of breakfast comestibles, and likely are stiff and uncomfortable while eating their morning repast. Poor fools. What a misery life must be.

As long as bacon is the accompaniment, I will gladly have either. Or both.

No, you cannot like both. It's one of the other. You either appreciate the lightness and softness of the crepe or you are locked into the boring pancake mindset of the masses.

As for jackets that have no drape, that would be 99% of all jackets that you see, RTW or bespoke.

Okay, this one is an easy +1 on my post count. Anderson and Sheppard is the 'brand'. What makes it special: see the previous umpteen pages.

Dear Doc:
I will take "the lightness and softness of the crepe" for $1,000.

Thanks man! I only see a very nice waisted jacket as the ones I use to alter but due to my english level, I couldn´t understand the drap thing very well. But I´m guess I´m not alone .... It was a very nice Caruso charcoal suit on sale this week with the same kind of waist.Also looked as some slim Attolinis. http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=103598 Sorry about my english folks! http://www.anderson-sheppard.co.uk/ Beautil shop! More or less, $$ Can it be just that jacket?
