I'm curious as to why I don't see khaki pants paired with a navy blazer too often if at all. Is that not how life is done anymore?


Over the years I have posted many pictures in this group, most recently on December 18th 2020. Here it is again.

Thanks. It is the second Belvest I have in this model (G2200S). The size is a 42R/52R D6 and in this model is a very good fit for me (broad shoulders, barrel chest, 5' 9") with no obvious tailoring needed. The fit could always be better but I am very happy for OTS. I think Belvest is a really good value point for Italian, fully canvassed.

No extra VAT, no issues. @LuxGentleman were perfect.

I had no idea that that pairing had ceased to be common. Perhaps I got so tired of seeing it everywhere during the 1980s and 1990s that I never noticed that it had gone away.
