The very fact that drape attracts as much controversy and emotive discussion is in itself very odd. It's just one period cutting style. Just one. It went out of fashion decades ago, and by all rights should be obscure period costume by now fit for eccentric film noir era retronostalgics who want to look like walking Apparel Arts fashion plates. Nothing wrong with that of course. Yet on the internet suddenly, far from it being a minority interest, people take sides in "drape wars" as though it were black and white, one half vs the other. That in itself suggests that drape is being, in Des Merrion's words, "rammed down people's throats". I think it is because tailors are getting these internet informed potential clients all primed up with this buzz word "drape" all over the world. It is a real phenomenon. It is the power of the internet. It needs to be questioned if only to give a more balanced perspective of things.Originally Posted by Sator
From a stylistic point of view, I don't like drape cuts . . .Originally Posted by George
Hmm, no. Some of the branded tailors specialize in this cut and they are still popular to this day, nothing to do with the internet.Originally Posted by Fuuma
If that's true, then what's the matter with people stating their contrary opinions?Originally Posted by Film Noir Buff
Huh? What I'm saying is that A&S and other drapists do not remain popular because of a few internet clients who duke it out on the forums with the anti-drapist league managed by 1930s reenactment champion Sutor.Originally Posted by Fuuma
Oh and people like RJ or your archenemy Manton would still use A&S without the internutz. They know enough, RJ lived and travels to fashion capitals and I'm sure he didn't wait for the internet to discover, say, Charvet and the joy of Hermès accessories...Originally Posted by Fuuma
Yes, there probably was a time. Fortunately, you can still see that today - in the work of Edwin DeBoise. He is Scholte's true heir. So once again, I will say: let those who are truly worthy of it get the rightful praise they have earned. Whether the drape cut is your taste, that's up to you, just like choosing between a fine Japanese or an Italian restaurant. However, Edwin is at that level where you can forget technical matters and just enjoy debating endlessly about taste.Originally Posted by Sator
