Mannequins and those who dress them are not what they used to be.

Like the Duke himself, many of these clothes strike me as too prissy. I found myself recalling the famous picture of the DOW in his windowpane suit in Vogue's Book of Houses, Gardens, People and I wanted to reach back across time and throttle the bastard. However, the corduroy shawl-collared dj is indeed sublime. And the tartan suit makes Vivienne Westwood look like an outright pilferer. I really like that suit and must admit I mourn the world it belongs too. Too bad these out-of-sight flights of fancy were among the earliest SR casualties.
Thanks for posting these.
4. A dark green double-breasted corduroy shawl-collared dinner jacket (Scholte, 1959.) Dinner trousers in navy herringbone wool and cashmere (H. Harris, New York, 1956.) Purchased by Brioni.

Wonderful, Thanks!Originally Posted by rnoldh
Didn't the Duke "cross the pond" for his pants which is in essence what you do with Edwin and Steed?
Getting your jacket and trousers made by different makers = serious next level ****!
