The King's Speech

[TheFoo]

Excellent movie, terrible clothes. There wasn't a single jacket collar in the movie that wasn't constantly playing hard-to-get with its wearer's neck.

Shame. Have you seen A Single Man?

Does it ever occur to you to look beyond fit...?

Something like this and if so, is this so objectionable ?

Its an obsession.

But, doesn't MR prefer his own collar that way?

kidding.

The trailer looks really good. Looking forward to seeing it.

Clothes look fine to me in the scenes I saw of the film.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but I want to. Just from the stills, I noticed what you are talking about. According to a piece in the L.A. Times today, they had bespoke suits made for Colin Frith while the actor playing the therapist was clad in off-the-rack tweed suits (not that I see many OTR tweed suits in my part of the world).

Geoffrey Rush plays the speech therapist.

Yes and yes. That is an ill-fitting collar and would drive me nuts. Great movie though.

Absolutely. The single biggest reason I started paying attention to Tom Ford. But then Colin's lean physique would do well with any maker, no?

I found a Tom Ford in Tokyo which fits me like heaven, but turned out to be a half canvassed thingamie. That I have little patience for, especially at those prices.

[ecclespeccles]

I suggest an oscar category for best male suit collar given the obvious public interest in these matters

 

[NewYorkIslander]

I sense a sequel, The Kings Tailor-Controversy on the Row
