I have a blue blazer that receives many compliments.

Despite the old illustrations, I think it looks best only on short(er) men. The dukes were short men and they looked fine in this type of jacket, and I bet it was designed with their stature in mind.

Re: Kent double breasted.

The answer is in the first post, from that international man of mystery and superlative photographic postings of historical significance, Mr Carpu65: "fashion", the Kent/reefer double breasted will every decade or so return for a brief six months of being in fashion. Having worn one, or something very similar at my uncle's wedding back in '89, it was a mistake then and is a mistake now.
