Chums,
#2, the Poole suit is nice. The hour-glass, not so sure about, but the proportion of everything is swell. The break on the trou. The perfect (to me own eyes) relationship between vest (er...waistcoat) and jacket, etc.

Re: Spotlight on top-class tailoring 1961
i seem to like 60's things alot. what other styles were there aside from mod? what is this style called for example? any books you can recommend about clothes in the 60's? i know of hardy amies books but don't know if the abc's are any good compared to the rarer one, the englishman's suit.
