If you're replying to me, I started this thread four years ago.This is a bad idea......I wouldn’t do it - where would you eve wear it in the foreseeable future?
And if you’re this much on the fence about it already then you have your answer....
As usual, Archie here wears it best. The key, in my opinion, is to for the lapel to not be overly wide, and for the peak part to not to extend far beyond the upper part of the lapel. Also, I like it if the peak is at a relatively sharp vertical angle, as opposed to a horizontal-style peak that makes it look like you're wearing wings.Mr. Grant:View attachment 1496883
I wore one on Tuesday. It lends well to a grey flannel suit, and I agree lapel width should be constrained. Still, it has a decidedly classical look compared to all the notch lapels out there. If I recall, RLPL often carries this style most seasons. I based this outfit off an old ad from them that I liked.As usual, Archie here wears it best.

I think this grey flannel suit lapel looks awesome, actually. The shape of the lapel triangle is exactly what I was talking about in that the angle goes up sharply (so it forms a peak) rather than out at a flatter degree (which would form more of a ledge, if you get my meaning).I wore one on Tuesday.
