Re: Whither the drape suit?
And back to the Drape suit...
Drape has a very self conscious look do it which gives the impression that you care too much about clothes. It is unsubtle. It lets the cat out of the bag because it is a very dramatic, showy style. Which may be why it is favored mainly by people in retail or show biz.

Re: Whither the drape suit?
I wonder why would Jeffrey want to keep his location undisclosed?
