That suit is a collaboration between Tiger of Sweden and Ben G. Cobb. They did a few last year. They are brilliant. I have one in a POW check. Of course, @UrbanCompositour puts it together like no one else.

I like them too, they just run quite long (for me), so had to return it...

Interesting article in British GQ about the style(s) in The Brutalist.

Thanks for posting this. It's hilarious!

In the meantime, Mark threw a black-tie party to celebrate 10 years of the Armoury in New York, and I put on my J.Crew tuxedo, hoping no one would sneer at its humble pedigree. The party was sponsored by Campari, and I was soon coasting on boulevardiers and chatting with a gaggle of short menswear nerds and the attractive women who loved them. As with most Midtown parties, the mix had its share of financiers, but also included war-crimes prosecutors and museum executives. “Are you in fashion?” I overheard one attendee asking another. “No, I’m a Marxist.” (And, I later found out, an architect.)

I loved this article.

“Formal male fashion traces back to two personalities: Beau Brummell, the sharp-witted proto-dandy of the early 19th century without whom the modern suit would be unthinkable (and who reportedly spent five hours a day getting dressed), and Edward VIII, the Nazi admirer and short-term king better known as the Duke of Windsor. These two insufferable assholes are mostly responsible for how men dress today.”

Actually, looking around I don't see many Brummels and Edwards these days. Dressed well men (and women) have become a rarity.

We are all a very restricted minority.
