street sightings

A large grain herringbone tweed wool coat in the current military style with some exaggerated details such as longer collar points, etc. Impossible to find on Google so far.

Dark charcoal gray coat with marching band uniform details on the cuffs, button plackets, collar etc.

I should just start taking people's picture from now on. Of course then there's always release forms etc.

This picture isn't what I was looking for, but it is kind of cool.

i have a very nice 2-button collared dress shirt (black with gold diagonal pinstripe, in a stretch blended fabric) that is very unusual, which inspired me to go a-googling....apparently these are considered a (what else?) peculiarly italian conceit of clothing. and of course! who else but claudio seems to be on the ball. it's like the bloke reads my mind. if i win the big lottery he's going to dress me from now on, head to toe.



hawes and curtis have one similar to mine in cut - the lining is also interesting.
