Newbie here. Question about vintage double-breasted jacket

What's the question? Are DB jackets dated? Well, good ones have a '30s feeling, while bad ones are very '80s. To my mind, that's to do with the fit (lots of ill-fitting DB suits in the '80s), along with cut details like the height of the gorge and the button stance, and the degree of shoulder padding. DB jackets are also apparently difficult to fit.

Is that suit a good one? The lapels and button stance look alright to me. I will say that the shoulders of the '80s Burberry stuff I've seen have been on the padded side. I'll also say that, if the jacket has a single vent in back, then that's seriously wrong. The fabric is also rather '80s. The best you could hope for with it would be a sort of charming anachronism -- it won't look fashionable, but it might look elegant. It would be an occasionally thing, for sure.

Would I wear it? If it fell into my lap, I'd certainly try. I would be pleased if it worked well, but not too surprised if, for some reason or another, it did not.
