Double Breasted Style.

Like it very much. Who is the man? And the tailor?

I'd almost say it is the same man standing to the right in the black and white photo a few posts preceding. But due to the graininess of the earlier pic (and lack of distinguishing marks) I can't match any features for certain. And even if true that still does not answer your question as I don't know who the "other" person is, either.

From "The Halfway House" (1944). Interesting to see how high the gorges were.

Anyone identifies his tailor?

I'd say F.Caraceni for the look of the lapels on his SB but his DB make me doubt...

Not sure how stylish it is, but my new suit in an autumn garden in Tokyo.

Hey everybody,

I found this fox flannel somerset jacketing, and was wondering how you would pair it with trousers if it was made as a DB sport coat. Any ideas? Would it be better to make it a suit, or does the dashed window pane make that difficult to pull off?

Any and all help is appreciated!

DB suit!

I would not make this into a suit. The pattern would work but, as this is a jacketing, the weave would be too weak for trousers. I generally shy away from DB sports coats, but you may be bolder than I am. Gray sports coats are difficult to combine with trousers. You need sufficient contrast between top and bottom, as well as some harmony or contrast in terms of colour. I could see navy cords or moleskin work but I’m not sure how versatile it would be otherwise.
