This is an example of great natural waist buttoning... another world (not considering the actor)

i still cant figure out if youre just trolling us.

Egregi signori, this jacket is a Giorgio Armani vintage jacket. Here we can see Richard Gere, considered a style icon with this role of "American Gigolò, because of the Armani sublime cloths

If you don't like him or don't like his dress it's your problem , not mine. Anyone who knows a bit of fashion history, knows that this a milestone and a pinnacle of elegance... no ifs, ands or buts

Thank you!

It's quite alright to walk around in, linen is your friend if you gotta wear suits in this heat. Retrospectively, I think a white PS would have been a good choice.

I'm all about adding color where possible and agree a splash of orange would be both daring and interesting for this outfit but IMHO if you wanted to play it safe perhaps a white PS with navy edges?

Just want to note the contrast between screen name and apparent sartorial touchstone...

youd love my neck of the woods then. you can find racks and racks of these "vintage" (read:dated) oversized suits for about 10 bucks a piece at the local goodwill. lol8[1].gif

quite frankly, my comment had nothing to do with richard gere...but you. Ive never met anyone so stuck in the style of hte 80s and early 90s....other than my uncle who still has a mullet and drives an old camaro IROC with a bazooka bass tube in the trunk so the person driving next to him can clearly hear the sweet tunes of the Scorpions blaring Rock you Like a Hurricane.
