Are you saying that I should fear deportation to Cutter & Tailor?

Can you stop doing ticket pockets? They're bugging the heck out of me.
Not all of us need uninterrupted access to the zipper. Several members are more patient than that.
What about the width of the leg opening? If it's wider the inseam can be quite a bit longer and still have no break; if it's narrow the pants have to be much shorter, something I don't think the "classic" dressers contemplated when advocating no break. Or maybe they did, I don't know.
Some of your Deboise numbers seem to have more shape than other Deboises. You need to explain this.
All of them have a fish cut/underarm dart. Then, about half have no front cut or dart, and the other half do. The ones that do are curvier around the torso; the ones that don't have a more cardigan-like, Brooks Brothers #1 sack feel (although they are still waisted compared to a sack.) The one today has both darts, as do all of my suits from the last three years or so. I'm sticking with that except for an odd jacket here and there. - B
What caused you to move to a more 'shapely' cut?
Edwin put in a front dark without discussion on one of my suits about four years ago, and I liked the way that it came out. - B
I like it, it looks good on you.
I personally like to have as much shape in my business suits as my body allows without it looking too feminine, which maybe a bit much for some American tastes. I'm a lot more relaxed about sports coats however, I even allow the tailor to put a little 'drape' (heaven forbid) in the front.
There are several people who post here who wear things this way, but photographs are few. - B
It is slightly Willy Wonka, but I think that fabric would make a great jacket.
