Yep, they're indeed horizontal cords. I like them a lot although I do plan on giving them a bit of a taper as they really are a proper straight cut. Apparently all of O'Connell's house cords are made by Hertling and I assume they're all the Gene model. They've got quite a nice selection. I plan on picking up a couple more in traditional 8-wale and possibly a pair of moleskins or two.
That's a cool piece.
Very nice - hope it doesn't pull on the button like that when you wear it, guess it's the size of the mannequin.
Only downside is it's 100% acrylic and a bit overpriced considering. c.1970's apparently.
do you think they are pewter buttons
I saw that "steam punk" jacket and got a little chuckle. Hahaha. Looks so steam punk dude!
Were you searching for that cord three-piece too? Haha
I don't remember what I searched for to bring up that jacket. Oh wait, I remember... "cool vintage steam punk boho vintage emo hipster ivy league americana trad classic collegiate tweed fifties sixties mod mad men clothes". That was it.
