Frost/Nixon-DB Blazer

[NewYorkIslander]

Anyone have any info on the blazer that he wore to interview Nixon (the one in the movie). Thought it was smashing and was wondering where I could pick one up.

Funny you ask that. A client called and asked if I had seen the movie. For his next jacket he wants a blue cloth like the jacket worn towards the end of the movie. Haven't seen the movie but when I do and if I find a cloth like it I'll let you know and you can get one made from Ercole.

I made almost all of the clothes for both "Richard Nixon" and "David Frost" for the movie. As soon as I get a chance I will dig through my records and, if I have them, let you know the fabric numbers for the garments you are both interested in.

This thread is quite the endorsement for your work, Len.

Gotta say, I thought that blazer looked pretty sweet too.

Here's the best I can do for you.

Frost blazer is from Smith Woolens # 4409

I think City of London buttons from Benson & Clegg??


Gray sharkskin 2 piece Lear Browne & Dunsford # 49043

Gray stripe 2 piece from Smith Woolens # 2638

Hope this helps.

Wow- great service Len! and congrats on the job- suits looked great.

I have to say that Frost just looks friggin' awesome throughout the entire movie. There's not a stitch out of place.

I know that there are factions on the forum that have a lot of disdain for contrast collar dress shirts, but the shirt that Frost wears on the plane when he meets the woman that becomes his GF is just awesome. It is the brilliant purple/white stripe number with contrast collar and cuffs. One day when I can afford to have my next MTM shirt made, that'll be the design.

not sure which one you are referring to but i think i recall him wearing a very unique blue color blazer something similar to this rlpl db i have

it is such a diplomatic color . not necessarily a navy blue at all. i dont know what the term maybe, royal?

The DB gold button blazer he wears in the interview stood out to me as well. great jacket.

Your suits do look rather tasteful and well constructed. I liked the clothes on both of those characters in Frost/Nixon, bravo. Do you have a photo of that dog in the three piece suit?

I like this suit, and I said as much a week ago.
