Double Breasted Style.

To me, maybe not you, some of his garments are shapeless bags. Garments should have some distinguishing lines to distract from the not so good. So many young people have natural nice lines, but when we get older the tailors knowledge and wit can really help. Of course, some tailors have more knowledge. Like so many things knowledge, wealth, skills, etc., are accumulated.

Now that I am older I need to rethink my own clothes. And it is a challenge I didn't want to do.

He's not exactly young. I think his bone structures has regressed hence the droopy shoulders on some his clothes. It looks like he enjoys wearing his clothes over an extended period of time.

The gentleman in the glasses look fine, but almost everyone else looks sorta' odd that first woman has some duck-face going on!

And who's that guy?

I like the gray suit, the midnight tux, and Chow's SB tux.

Think I prefer the narrower-striped navy suit.

EDIT: Jeffrey Deitch, who's an art-world mover and shaker. Used to run the MOCA in LA. The *********** with the lei is Michael Chow, who founded Mr. Chow (and has a pretty good art collection). I don't recognize anybody else, because I'm in one of those scruffy applied arts.

That seam across the shoulder is dreadful. I criticized one of his coats like that in a forum that I was unaware he was in that the coat was terrible rtw or m2m and certainly not bespoke. Some people were not pleased.

The king and his new suit of clothes went for a ride and only a little child said, "Why is the king naked?" Nobody had spoken up, so the king wore his oldest suit. Oh well.

That shoulder seam looks similar to what you'd see on jackets from the 20's/Jazz Suits. Here's a boating blazer which illustrates the seam more clearly.

That is not the same. In the old days the seam started back a little behind the neck, and some tailors still do this, and they are slanted. Some believe that seam should be out of sight from the front. There are a number of ways to do the shoulder seams, but none of them should be clumsy.

He is a nice man for allowing so many photos of him to be taken and posted on line. He is a stylish man.

That's "Nucky's girlfriend." Neither he nor J.N. let the "duckface" stop them, and given the chance, I wouldn't either.

And who's that guy?

She's five eight, so he must be, what, at least 3 foot 10, whatever he's called.

Paz de la Huerta, and she's double breasted.

DB with no tie?

Marzotto says it's OK as long as you don't imitate him

Copy him as photoshop the background?

Lordsuperb, you could be a goodwill ambassador of Double Breasted Style! The cuts are flawless. I share the exact same love of line & form.
