Re: Whither the drape suit?

The photos of the Anderson & Sheppard cutters (like the photos of the actor above) seem to reflect much more retsrained versions of the drape sytle than that that is celebrated (and ridiculed) on the fora.  Could it be that those who market themselves as purveyors of draped ease are only selling a slightly less structered version of the standard SR suit?

Re: Whither the drape suit?

I like the dogs misbehaving.

Did I mention that the Drape suit was possibly an extension of the English cultural principal of yearning to have a one of a kind item? I think the Americans do not understand how much of a drive this is for the English.

Additionally, it could be that FLusser both needed an angle to break into the custom business when he did (There being more tailoring firms back then) and he wanted to tap into the Anderson and SHeppard cachet. Along the lines of, dont go to London, we can give you updated, Anderson and Sheppard, right here.

True.

The English love a suit lining more than the suit.
