Matt Deckard Apparel

[John in Covina]

That's pretty sharp looking.

 

[thunderw21]

Wow, a modern action back that's done right. Fantastic!

 

[Atterbury Dodd]

Now if Matt Deckard would just come down to Arkansas sometime so I could be measured for one of these...

 

[MrBern]

I'll be putting up better pics of these trousers as well as the shirts on the site soon. What do you think?

Model #3 trousers
Made in a 15 oz. cream wool flannel

Some customers have preferred it with belt loops and suspender buttons on the inside, I like it with no belt loops and suspender buttons on the outside like on my pair above.

I see MrDeckard is losing some weight!

Matt, I have some RL linen trousers that would be MUCH more wearable if there were beltloops. Always nice to have flexibility & options.

You might want to go w/ a tad less break.

 

[reetpleat]

Beautiful pants. Personally, I feel that no belt loops are much better served by a hollywood style waist with no waist band. Not sure exactly why. Maybe jsut tradition or maybe there is an aesthetic reason. I do know hollywood style waist band seems to hug the waist better, this not need a belt so much.

 

[Matt Deckard]

The material is nice and heavyweight... a blue windowpane herringbone three piece in my model #1 suit design.

All I can say is it's all about the fit after the details are correct. Once it is on your back you should feel like you are wearing a pair of pyjamas without any restriction to movement... Think about Cary Grant doing that backflip in Holiday... no need to take off the jacket.

Anywho, you look marvelous and I'll see if I can get those other clients pics up soon.

Thank you for posting the suit... I've been getting people nudging me daily for more images.

Enjoy wearing it and keep us posted on people's reactions at the office.

Or side-tab or a back tab adjuster.

last of the line.

Went into my haberdashery last night while my family was in the bookstore next door, and my clothier was showing me some Canadian made trouser when I said you know you are closing by xmas, i should really get a new suit before you close, what kind of suit do you want. Well a double breasted pin striped suit, 48 . He looks at his eyes bugging out and exclaims you really are a dinosaur and my answer is takes one to know one. Then he scratches his bald head, and after pondering it he takes me to the back of the store and way back at the end of the suits behind the mirror door is one blue double breasted suit, not made in canada but not made in china its made in Romania. Well it makes sense their forty years behind there too. How much originally $200.something , $49. sold. Tape measure around his neck, you need the trousers altered , no time for measurements be in next week, thank you very much. 59Lark.

In English please?


And for the others, what is the advantage of a belted back compared to a normal one?

 

[dog20]

Matt, did you add those buttons on the outside or would I be able to find pants like those at a department store?

 

[Matt Deckard]

I like the buttons on the outside depending on the style. I'm doing a couple more pairs like that for clients. I'm sure a good haberdasher would be willing to sew buttons on the outside of any pair of trousers you want with that look...


By the by, for those into the macabre, and since Halloween is around the corner.

See Hart fisher of American Horrors sporting his new Matt Deckard Apparel suits at Americanhorrors.com.

He's interviewing Sam Rami and several other horror movie directors through the year in a show broadcasting in europe.

Also, I'll have some pics of Dave Vanian of The Damned up soon. I designed a suit for him earlier this year that he's been wearing on tour. I'll have those pic up shortly as well.

 

[Selentino]

Must have those pants in various colors no loops buttons on the outside as in the pic!

 

[Feraud]

Let's see those Dave Vanian pics!
Will the new suit styles be added to the website?

 

[Matt Deckard]

All the styles will be added to the website.

 

[mike]

At this moment having a shirt or two made is about all my budget can manage. Anyone have a Deckard shirt? I'd love to see more pictures!

 

[Matt Deckard]

Now that we have your measurements, a shirt is no problem. Check out earlier in the thread for pics. I have several customers with them made and hope they chime in.

Hello stranger! Sorry for being so out of the loop! How about fabric options, what're you working with?

 

[Matt Deckard]

Well the Tailor is going to be in New York from the 6th to the 12th... There are more vintage styled shirting fabric swatches I have marked that I think you'd like to see, as well as some wool books that have denser more collegiate and classic looks. Ask to see my style book for more vintage details in detail.

For the shirt styles, very dagger pointed collars... longer points. Soon I'll be adding newsboy caps to the lineup... not your ordinary ones either...

Anywho, you'll have to wait for pics on the site, though if you are interested the number is on the website and I'll shoot you some photos through email of other clients.

Matt, what a coincidence. I was in the Waldorf barbershop in Dublin yesterday and Linda (the proprieter's daughter) told me that Dave Vanian of The Damned had called in again recently and that he gets his hair cut exactly the way I get my hair cut.

In other words: the barber who cut Dave Vanian's hair cuts mine.

I had never heard of the band but when I read your post I remembered that is who she mentioned.

I can clearly see the similarities in the cut, especiallty at the back.

 

[Matt Deckard]

I Know I haven't posted enough images... just been busy. Here is another one of my clients in the vest shirt and trousers of suit style #1 done in a charcoal herringbone.

Again, more to come.


And as for the hairstyle of choice... mine, well done Mr. H... here's mine.
