Harpo and I like Corbin. I find myself wearing their slacks pretty often. Poly/cotton, I suppose. They came in a big box of gear from Shamrockmonkey. They seem to have had the odd mention on 'TI'; nothing very specific.
I don't like their cotton/poly stuff, but the "natural shoulder" model in wool is my favorite.

I have an olive green poplin two pice suit by Corbin.
It would be just the thing for one of those Dixie states courtroom scenes.
There was quite a good discussion of Corbin in the archives. Are they still good. I have quite a few pair still.
Not the leftie MP ?
He wears unbuttoned button downs - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Corbyn
I don't for the life of me remember those poly/cotton slacks, but did anyone notice that bleeding Madras jacket on Ebay? The seller must surely be one of us, judging by his description of the item and what he's been selling in the past.
Corbin are still popping up on Ebay every now and then, sometimes 'disguised' under another name. 'Collegiate'-style, Boom Years jackets (not sack or often 3/2) also crop up, often at prices lower than jackets made here in the UK or elsewhere in Europe. I'm talking about three or four pounds, literally.
