Prithee tell, Foo - among the "meanings used in the ongoing debate" - you know, the "drape debate" that rages amongst a select group of internets iGent nerds like yourself - who retains the magical power to bestow legitimacy upon certain definitions and not others? Drape is - to me - like pornogrpahy to Justice Potter Stewart: "I know it when I see it."
Most, I think, would agree with my definition.
Oh good gawd, Bull and Foo, can you guys please go outside for the remainder of this little "whose is bigger" competition? The rest of us are interested in a more productive conversation.
I'm talking about Despos's coat. It's the only thing anyone has posted all day in this thread.
Alright, another coat to help a derailed thread: (http://www.thelondonlounge.net/forum...php?f=4&t=8592)
What's happened to this thread is very sad...I for one, was looking forward to an interesting display of the handiwork of Chris Despos.
If I may contribute here. This style of coat is the genesis of the Polo coat worn today. The wrap coat pictured is cut a size 42 and fitted to wear over a jacket. The person wearing the wrap coat is barely a 38 chest and is wearing a shirt and no jacket. It is a rather fitted coat when seen on the proper sized person rather than the loose fit of the original article. The belt is suggested to be tied in a manner that does not hang as in the picture. The cashmere is 13 ounce jacketing and not topcoat weight. This coat was made for a fashion show at a Custom Tailors & Designers meeting. The jacket concept was taken from this article about the influence of the sport of Polo on everyday fashion.

Look - construction-wise, I'm sure it's immaculate. But everyone praises this coat like it's the ******* holy grial when it's posted, but nobody has purchased or commissioned a coat even close to this one (or - at least - nobody has posted a pic of one upon completion.)
