Double Breasted Style.

VANNI Bespoke – Navy herringbone polo coat

Mostly a simple visceral negative reaction. "That looks awful" kind of thing. My guess is it doesn't look like a "proper" suit made of a smooth, lightweight worsted with clean lines. The cloth looks pretty thick and textured.

I commissioned a Vox SAS (from Steed, even) in Frontier suiting. I think the idea works pretty darn well for travel. I took it to Argentina on a three week vacation and plan on taking it again next year on a long vacation.

U should have said “what’s wrong with a textured suit?”

We are veering dangerously close to the sanitation worker suit discussion again.

I think half my wardrobe could be classified under ‘sanitation suits’...most of them being one button @brax ;-)

Dear Gentlemen,

Not to break the DB overcoat series, I am posting here below a picture of a chesterfield DB overcoat commissioned in the recent years by a favorite AV of SF.

IMHO, it is a great iteration of this style, in a camel-colored 100%cashmere overcoating fabric. Unsurprisingly - hence the reason for this picture to find itself in my image database - I am truly fond of the lapels, due to both their width and height; other notable elements and details are also evident in this overcoat!

Cheers,

Dimitris

I personally wouldn't qualify that as a Chesterfield. It is missing one of the most defining features, a velvet collar.

Dear @ruvort,

This is exactly the reason why I used the word "iteration" of this style.

A velvet collar was frequently found even in SB chesterfield overcoats; the whole style is now anachronistic, as a result, in present times the drop of the velvet collar creates a more contemporary, modern garment.

Best,

Dimitris

Who makes the best DB? For me, the Anderson&Sheppard silhoutte is still the favorite.

Ive been saving this fabric for the past 6 years. I hope to get a peacoat made out of it one of these days.

What’s the fabric?

That will make a fantastic coat.
