Classic/Classy Style in Business Casual Environment

[Jovan]

Sorry Jovan, those darn pesky customers were demanding of my time. I don't make many triple reverse pleats anymore. I like them though because I have very large thighs (luckly from athletics not from the coutch). They give me more room in the front Quad area. But I would say that we make 80% of our pleated pants in a Double Reverse. About 15% in Single Reverse and 5% in Triple Reverse.
The Barons right about the 1980's and Triple Reverse Pleats. Man we sold a ton of them. That extra fullness coordinated with the wider shoulder lines of the jackets. Speaking of the Baron, "Nasty Fabric" wow. I'm definitly going to wear that shirt when I visit you accross the pond.
Thanks,
Marty

Ah. No forward pleats?

Ah. No forward pleats?

Oh sure. We make them. I was just refering to our % of reverse pleats. Overall I would say that for trousers we make 85% reverse, 10% plain and 5% forward. That trend is starting to change some. Plain fronts are starting to drop as a fashion trend. I don't give a rip about fashion. But our customers are somewhat influenced by it.
The hardest thing about makeing and fitting a plain front or a forward pleat is that you need to make the pant fuller in the front panels so they lay better. Unless of course the gentleman is a slim guy like yourself.

Ok. Here's my idea of casual Friday.
Sport Coat: Olive plaid with a orange window, single breasted, bone buttons and a funky lining.
Trouser: Medium blue 120's wool faille weave, triple reverse pleats.
Dress Shirt: Blue twil weave 100's 2/ply cotton, classic collar and french cuffs.
Cuff Links: "PIn-up Girl" of course.
Vest: Yellow Royal Baby Alpaca.
Shoes: Allen Edmonds "Ramsey" brandy w/linen. Also with matching belt.
Hoisery: Pantherella light blue OTC with pattern.
Lid: Scala coconut with a madras band.
Driving Gloves: Italian made calf skin (for my pal Scotrace)
A silk pocket square and a fish fly in the lapel to finish the outfit. Now the only question is "What will you fill the Flask with?
Cheers,
Marty Mathis

Well thank you right back! The only downside is the resulting frustration given your distance and my lack of adequate disposable income with which to make purchases. [huh]
