Is that Lapo Elkann (spelling?) again?

Re: Anderson & Sheppard: A Style is Born
Without commenting specifically on any suit or maker, it does seem that 'drape cut' is a description often applied to any garment that just hangs there, in shapeless, limp folds; like a prospective bullock's half-severed testicles.

Contrary to lies of FNB and Woofboxer, I (and most of the other "Buff Bastards") have been banned from posting on this forum. There are only a few posters left so don't waste your time on here. This forum is dead and nobody cares.

Re: Anderson & Sheppard: A Style is Born
Arrived.
Great book,great photos.
The strange is that the A&S suits not seem all equal.
For exemple: double breasted at page 215 ( Mr Bruno Frisoni) and 220 (Mr Edward Elliot Elson) are really great.
Double breasted at page 228 (Mr George Hamilton) seem ready to wear, and that at page 245 ( Sir Michael Lindsay Hogg) is ugly.

Re: Anderson & Sheppard: A Style is Born
The big question I have is what on earth is a drape cut. Judging by the dimensions of an A&S I have studied alongside a published Scholte pattern, there is virtually no drape at all on an A&S compared with most ready-to-wear coats on the market today. Only when you compare it with the dimensions of the sort of tight fitting cut prevalent during Scholte's formative years, does it look like it has any drape. The only point a Scholte has much more drape than most ready-made coats from your local department store is in the waist.
