Either way I wouldn’t worry about it too much when sitting down. (And this is, perhaps, one important effect of this series – to suggest when you should worry about something, and not.) The image above from the Dior Homme Autumn-Winter 2011 collection shows the position on mens trousers where this closure is most commonly used, as a sturdy way of fastening the waistband of mens or womens tailored trousers. It could also be used in a similar way on skirt waistbands. I do not like belted wrap coats, even though loose coats with such a belt have become trendy. I guess fashion has it that in a lifetime everyone will desire at least once loose garments and then fitted ones. A good thing after all, but I already had my loose phase and I feel it unlikely that it seduces me again.

Understanding them, weighing them up and acting accordingly is the key – rather than blindly following one or the other. Things of mine I’d put in that category are my Huntsman shooting suit (just too much in every way) and Gieves & Hawkes gilet (not quite functional enough - more on sucesses and failures here). Also known as side-tabs, these are found on trousers with no belt loops as a tightening mechanism. Traditionally seen on tuxedo trousers. Buttonholes and buttons could be added to the front at any point, making it look and function the same as a normal double-breasted overcoat. Men tend to struggle with it though. We generally tend to prefer everything tied down and buttoned up.A hook and bar fastening is a popular choice for the closure on tailored trousers, skirts and other garments. It is an alternative to a button closure, particularly where a clean, minimal look is required. It is also a fairly secure fastening that can generally hold more strain than a hook and eye fastening (which is normally just used as a light weight closure where two edges meet, rather than overlap). On most modern double-breasted coats, one column of buttons is decorative, while the other is functional. The other buttons, placed on the outside edge of the coat breast, allow the overlap to fasten reversibly, left lapel over right lapel. To strengthen the fastening, a functional inner-button, called the jigger (or anchor button), is usually added to parallel-fasten the over-lapped layers together from the inside. [1]

But here it worked fine, and presuming the belt stays fastened, the whole front of the body is protected from the wind and the cold. Partly that’s because it’s hard to get a good one off the peg, but mostly it’s because of those two risks: of looking over-smart and anachronistic. The lowest quality (and least expensive) suit construction method in which the canvas is glued to the fabric and is often only found in the chest area. A pre-made pattern that is used to create standardized garments, either mass-produced or made-to-measure. Third, some of the details make the coat a little too showy. And this is a note for Whitcomb & Shaftesbury.Find sources: "Double-breasted"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( February 2019) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) You can wrap the two sides completely, and tie it together so the silhouette is the same as a normal overcoat (above). Why is this? Well, primarily because a DB has cloth that overlaps at the front, and therefore when it is not done up, there is an excess of material at the front that can flap around.

I found this made the coat stand out even more than the length, and hard to combine with other things (the last thing you want in a coat). US ) A double-ended vessel, generally of stainless steel or other metal, one end of which typically measures 1½ fluid ounces (approx. 44ml), the other typically 1 fluid ounce (approx. 30ml). Whenever possible, I find it’s best to build on something you’ve seen elsewhere, rather than starting from scratch. To restrict experiments to things that are less expensive (relative to what you have available to spend). And to make them reversible, or at least adaptable.Some minefields and ten-foot bargepoles here. Whether one looks old-fashioned, contrived, stiff, or anachronistic depends on so many outside factors, most of which bear no relation to tailoring or the clothes themselves. Celebrities, for instance, get away with anything. Because people don’t just look at the clothes. They look at the wearer.

And let us not forget body shape. Tall can get away with most things. Tall and thin can get away with anything. So I’m unsure on this point. Which of course, is one of the great reasons why the experiment is reversible. Abbreviation of “cut, make, and trim,” which refers to the labor portion of suit making price structures (the other portion being cloth). So you basically have three options for fastening the coat: tied with the belt, fastened a little more loosely with the jigger, or unfastened completely.These were the old and established rules, they told me, simple rules, the middle way between maintaining a classic profile, important!, and being comfortable, which of course was less important. They could know, being born at the beginning of the twentieth century, or even slightly before that, into the upper and mostly well dressed classes. I agree with Oskar and Gijsbertus, especially with regard to the traditional navy DB blazer. One should wear it with panache and good posture, fully embracing its naval and military associations. The slouchy hipsters in the pictures above (not you Simon!) manage to look both ridiculous AND self-conscious in their attempts to wear a traditional garment with ironic nonchalance, a’ la David Letterman. But then again, that’s the whole problem with sprezz, isn’t it? It is fundamentally mendacious – an attempt to look as if you didn’t care about your appearance, while caring about it very much indeed. A British term that refers to what Americans call “suspenders.” Sartorially correct braces are pieces of fabric (sometimes silk, sometimes not) that sit on the shoulders and attach to the trousers’ waistband via buttons to hold them up. Clip-on braces are incorrect. A category of fabric weave that tends to create a diagonal appearance because of its structure. Each yarn passes over two or more perpendicular yarns, and then under one or more yarns, depending on the pattern.
