    Vest size?

    If you wear a size 40R jacket then you would wear a size 40 vest.

    And Manton hits 2000

    WAHOO WAH . Manton is THE MAN. Somebody's got to set the standards. For my two cents ($0.02) Manton is a better authority on how to dress properly than Alan Flusser ever dreamt of being. You can go ahead and break the rules once you know what the rules are and Manton is the authority in that...

    Is this suit hideous?

    Love the jacket.Hate the pants. Right very Steve McQueen in the 'The Thomas Crown Affair'. I want a suit coat JUST LIKE THAT.

    cardigans

    I have lots of cardigans and what I call sweater vests both buttoning and non. I really do not care whether these items are 'in' or not.The sweater vests work better if you're going to wear a sportcoat.

    Wearing an ascot

    I see no reason why the ascot should be relegated to the dustbin of history. The ascot serves two useful purposes. It keeps the neck warm when wearing an open collar and it keeps the neck largely invisible. This is a good thing for men of a certain age.

    Sweater Vests

    Robert Talbott made some exquisite sweater vests this season and last. A vest type sweater vest with five buttons and pointy bottom. Unfortunately for you I scarfed up all that I could find, thinking that I would never see them again. I am seeing that Talbott is doing them again this spring in...

    Finding Neverland

    Yes ,clarinetplayer, that was a cool vest and Johnny Depp got mileage out of that watch chain too. Perhaps I could get a picture and take it to my local tailor. IMHO there are lots of 'historical' styles that would work today. Maybe I should pose that question on this august forum.

    Define your style

    Now that I think about it, I have two basic looks. First, the everyday 'don't- want- to- think- about- what- I'm- wearing- on- my- way- to- the- hardware- store- and- post- office' look. And secondly the '1930s-Anglo-American-dandy-Fred-Astaire-wannabe-Yes-I-own-and-wear-ascots-waistcoats-wa...

    Unusual clothing features

    Here's an unusual clothing feature.An extra buttonhole on the front of a waistcoat made to accommodate a watch chain.Back in the early days of the designer Alexander Julian, the vests on his three piece suits (RTW) actually came with this feature.An Englishman informed me that it's called a...

    Unusual clothing features

    So does the vest still have the inverted 'V' at the bottom or do you end up with a square-bottomed vest? I must admit to having the some fear but have 'conquered' it by having my trousers made with a higher rise.
