Really? I have the three volume Sotheby's auction book from when the contents of his Paris flat were sold off in 1997. Among the many great color plates of his clothes, I dont' recall seeing a single 6x1. 4x1s aplenty, though, since that's what Scholte cut for him in DBs.Originally Posted by voxsartoria
Yes, but he was a nazi, so...

This Brioni 6 x 1 got reasonable endorsements from styleforum. It was recommended that I replace and reposition the buttons.

That is some scary looking fungus on your face mate. A cross between D'Artagnan and Terry-Thomas and I'd bet the bank that you'd look much younger/better/less like a nonce if you get busy with a bic. The jacket seems to fit well.

I don't like. I tried buttoning my DB jacket in this fashion the other day and it droops too much in the front.Originally Posted by TRINI
The shiny suit of the Japanese businessman is just awful...
Well-cut but still awful...

I prefer the 6x2 but like most clothing, how a particular cut or buttoning arrangement looks really depends on the person wearing it.

I think you're shaped well for this type of coat. I also think your the exception not the rule. Most 6x1 don't appeal to me.

Love that jacket. Keep the buttons they are delightfully wrong.
