"Fashion is like the weather: give it some time and it’ll eventually change.
And repeat itself.
Take this jacket.
Extra-wide peak lapels. Two-button front. Bi-swing back, with belt piece. Pure 1940's.
The last time we saw a jacket like this Tyrone Power was at the $100 window at Santa Anita, betting a long-shot in the third.
Until recently, that is.
I was in Beverly Hills, having brunch at the place. In walks Anthony Hopkins, wearing a jacket like this.

"OK," I said to myself. "That makes sense."
Then, not a half hour later, Brad Pitt walked in wearing the same style jacket.
Coincidence?
I don't think so.
Vintage 1940's Hollywood Blazer (No. 2697). Made in a luxurious linen/wool blend in a distinctive herringbone pattern, it's about time this jacket made a comeback. A true reproduction of the original, right down to the functional four-button cuffs, welt chest pocket and faux horn buttons.
Taped seams, two besom pockets with flaps and three interior pockets – two traditional chest pockets and a smaller waist pocket that's perfect for business cards.
A jacket like this gives you broader shoulders and a slimmer torso.

No wonder Power had Lana Turner and Janet Gaynor swooning at his feet. Imported.
Men's even sizes: 38 through 48.
Color: Brown with Blue windowpane stripes."
