The double-breasted coat

Fellas,

about a year ago, i would have called you all totally nuts if you´d promised me i would once wear a double-breasted sport coat. What is normally the dress of retired grand-fathers or mafiosi pensioneers, has become quite famous, with the likes of Lino Ielluzzi and others sporting it daily. I´ve seen so many great pics of young men wearing db jackets...what might distract the majority of young men wearing that form of formal wear are surely size and fit issues: the double-breasted coat requires suppression around the waist to prevent it from looking like a rectangular piece of textiles wrapped around your body...if you can make sure you won´t have to deal with such hardships, it´s a great addition of nearly every man´s wardrobe.

Apart from that, i am flattered to welcome two new readers to the Blog: please feel welcomed, Jian Qing and Gonzalo. It is a pleasure to have you here and i´m looking forward to both your insightful comments!

Anyway, as always, action speaks louder than words, and you come here for pictures, not words. So here goes my try:










I was pretty proud of the arch that i could achieve on the tie and of its knot...what do you think?
