Re: Natural-Shouldered Trad images from the 50's and 60's.
I'm sure I've seen a pic somewhere of Art Blakey in a very similar jacket, only his was cut much shorter. I'll try to find it to check.
I'd call it a very 'Continental' look, but Italian more than French (But that is only a view from the U.K.).
Nice though, & I think it has it's place - Well found!
Probably it's not tweedy enough for me, but on anyone else it could look great.
Another thumb up.

'Russell' did a 'BD Baggies' thread on AAAC back in the day. Should still be there? They are OK, but a bit 'so what?'.
Shipping in Brooks & Press IS cheaper than BD. B. & much better.
I used to call the Slack Jacket a 'Larry David Jacket'. It was Chris H., who sometimes posts here, who told me what it was actually called. Flusser calls them Slacks too. More than that I don't know... yet...

Not sure about the Oxford cloth. Ring & ask? I'm not sure it's quite their thing. They are more imported RTW focussed.

I was looking at the "Belmondo" overcoat under the "what's new" section.

Good look D. !
I really don't think that it is costume or retro even, not quite yet anyway in Europe.
Funny how from the UK 'Continental' conjurs up Italy to us, not France. Odd - Must be cultural.

I've got a pair of vintage beige Levi's Sta-Prest in whipcord. Very practical.

The suit looks nice.
Would someone do a youngun a favor and explain what whipcord is like?
Or is it one of those if-you've-never-seen-and-felt-it-I-can't-explain sort of fabrics--like a wash and wear Dacron suit

Re: Natural-Shouldered Trad images from the 50's and 60's.
So funny -
I was checking on details while you must have been posting this D.
Certainly imported Levis Sta-Prest featured in the 'Ivy Shop' & 'Squire' in 60's Ivy London. Sta-Prest were especially 'Squire' from what I can gather.
I've worn re-issued Sta-Prest & heard stories of the originals but never seen them. Certainly I've seen and worn my share of Sta-Prest look-a-likes in my time (When? '77 to '80?). I dropped them when I could get my hands on nice chinos.
They have their place & are a nice memory for me.

Re: Natural-Shouldered Trad images from the 50's and 60's.
They really should revive Sta-Prest, it's the missing indredient of that whole Ivy college boy look of the 50's/60's. I guess they're early '60's really, but I've nothing to back that up.
'Wheat coloured' Levis are another thing I've heard about bit don't know enough about from a similar period.
Looking at the Japanese 'Take Ivy' book there are so many Sta-Prest (or Sta-Prest style) wearers in '65 in the Ivy campus shots that it's amazing that we've not seen them on AAAT yet.
... Then again as they weren't a part of the 'Preppy' thing they may well be out of 'Trad's' frame of reference. Odd that. Never mind.
Back in the day I had Sta-Prest look-alikes in Silver Grey, Black, Pale Blue, & Olive Green. I wore them with no break & usually the Mid-Grey Burlington Argyles. Penny Weejuns, Blue/White Candy striped OCBD ('Geoffrey Scott' - another name from the past!), White T, Bottle Green or Navy G9. Hair was Steve McQueen-esq & I listened to a lot of Jimmy Smith (The Organ Grinder's Swing, The Cat, etc.). It was a 'Summer look'.
I never had a bad back back then neither...
