My Custom Tailor redux
thanks for the several close comparanda, gents. I see that the bellies of my lapels are more curved than e.g. Hideki's jacket, and a bit fatter. Same with the next comparandum. I don't foresee changing the lapels. I think it's fine. I wore it to Church of Sinatra last night in SF, and... -

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Isn't Niles up the delta? I have long wanted to go there. I love love love seeing silent films with live accompaniment. On Halloween, my wife and I saw the original 1920s Nosferatu at Davies Symphony Hall in SF with a live organist and two live storm-machine-operators. It was outstanding.- Dr Doran

My Custom Tailor redux
Annixter -- thanks, those seem to be as close as it's gonna get to a precedent. But as Anon` (who knows me fairly well) has noted, I CAN PULL OFF BIZARRE. but, dammit Jim, aren't there any negative comments? Let's hear 'em! -
50's and 60's fedora lounge?
+1 here on historical methodology. I'm a trained historian as well, working on my PhD now at Berkeley. The thing that drives ME the most nuts when I teach (which I often do) is undergraduates (particularly female undergraduates) who gasp and freak out when they hear that women in ancient Greece...- Dr Doran

50's and 60's fedora lounge?
Yes. And as I commented to someone once ... let us pretend there was another forum called let's say "The Acid Lounge" with tie-dyed background instead of a black background, and the threads concerned Grateful Dead live recordings, how to tie dye your shirts, draft-avoidance techniques...- Dr Doran

My Custom Tailor redux
Someone's gotta do it. That's the term -- I had forgotten it. OK, I'll see if there is precedent for a three-roll-two with peak lapels. -
My Custom Tailor redux
I think I can pull off bizarre OK. So my tailor pointed out that I can SHORTEN the lapels by pressing them differently; or I can lengthen them by pressing them differently, but then I'll have a button back and a button hole visible on the open, longer lapel ... which rather ruins the effect... -

My Custom Tailor redux
Sorry about the crapulous quality of the photos. Anyway, there is the vest. I like ITS lapels, and the vest in general, just fine. Then, there is the jacket. As you can see, rather than a 1-button jacket, they made a 3-button, which forces the lapels to be shorter. It's a strange look, but as I... -
My Custom Tailor redux
Can I see pics of these short and stubby lapels? -
My Custom Tailor redux
I'm baffled too ... Yes, I think my tailor could reshape the lapels but .... that might be freakishly expensive, and the lapels as they are have the advantage of being interesting. Has anyone seen any pictures (probably here on the Lounge) of peak lapels that are short and fat on vintage SB... -
