I am on Team Sack with Lufty today. (Hmmm. I think there may have been a better way to express that...) High-rise trousers and everything.

I really like this combo. The square is great. Also, it is the oddest picture I've seen in a long time. You look like you are about 2 inches deep.

Thanks, Matt. I am, in fact, trompe l'oeil. Seriously, though, I blame the iPhone. If Spoo can blame it, so can I.

Opposite for me. I enjoy both looks, but pants to my navel don't feel quite right on me.

Poor Patrick,

You are going to have such a hard time when these come back into style!

Nice looking suit Sugar Butch. Who made it?

Great look - your manly shoulders throw off the fit a bit, though.

When I first started in tailoring this was popular and in vogue. Made lots of this style. Pierre Cardin and YSL were the big names for this look. Dandies wore Hollywood and LeBaron, Oxxford was the pinnacle. Johnny Carson for leisure suits.

Niidawg introduced the term "deets" to the MC WAYWRN thread. I feel that this fact should be noted.

Thanks! It's a J Press Presstige of indeterminate vintage. It can't be too recent, though, because it doesn't have the "cellphone" pocket on the lower left interior.

Thanks, Sheepy. Next time, I'll add a black circle over the earring to spare your feelings.

Despos,

As for me, I was in junior high school during the height of this look. So as you can imagine I would have to plead pretty much 'guilty as charged'. And I might add 2" wide WHITE belts were pretty much required if you intended to be cool.

What I find so entertaining is all of the young dandies running around here on SF in their super skinny looks who somehow suffer from the delusion that their 'look' won't seem just as ridiculous to them 30 years from now as this look does today.

Ah well, such is youth. Frankly I do enjoy their super slim button busting looks. Keeps things fresh and interesting. But I'm not tempted to go there with them.
