It's all in how it's worn boys

/\ one pic up, Jimmy's suit looks like the ones Press would bring up from the basement in New Haven to try to flog
Brz.'s suit definitely looks like Brooks wash and wear poplin to me ... poplin suit, ocbd, repp tie, it is perfect
In case anyone doesn't know the context of these photos: in the 1950s and early 1960s mambo, the music and dance, was very popular with Jewish people in NY. During the summer many of them spent their time at certain resorts in the Catskills and the finest mambo musicians of the time - many of the finest Latin musicians of all time in fact - were hired to spend their summers entertaining them. This provided the inspiration for every 1980s female's favourite film Dirty Dancing but the less said about that the better.
The musicians above were 3 absolute greats of Latin music incidentally.
