supports your view, and it's from several years ago-certainly would be more so now.
His 'on again, off again' with heroin evidently caused his weight to swing like Oprah. But his pecs were decidedly flabby.
(risking accusation of hijacking a thread with this interesting subject, it's hard to believe the fat junkie was ever a dashing, svelte fighter pilot. I have read...
Thanks, not bad looking and certainly inexpensive. This compares with the Hilfiger ones available for similar cost.
I am resigned now to go to $500-$700 because I can amortize the cost over the rest of my life. That leaves Oxxford out of reach but Brooks 1818, Press and Southwick at the...
Well, Oxxford certainly seems to be the best OTR, by what I have gleaned online. But, sadly, no deals to make them affordable without a trust fund or eating Ramen for a few months.

Need a new blazer, well probably 2, one for warm seasons, one for colder. I've looked at Southwick, HS&M Golden Trumpeter and O'Connell's (like the doeskin for cold weather).
Dann offers maybe too many choices but the Corbin ones seem like a good compromise between cost and quality.

I have seen photos of the Reeves costume. Weird looking.

Marc is right. Sadly, the Peterman website, like their catalog, affects these wash drawings. I just bought the herringbone blazer and the chalk striped suit coat and they are very nice and look very much '30's. Nice material-Irish tweed herringbone and English-milled chalkstripe- and for the...
