I like that SB grey with peaked lapel.

I'm rather ignorant of the wearing of DB jackets, but would they, were you to buy them in an RTW line, require more "alteration tailoring" to get right?  I only ask because for me, when I go RTW SB jackets from my usual place, there is some altering beyond the usual that they do that makes it fit right.

Although designers are useful for some things, they never did rplace the standard suit jacket styles. And because of this, they will continue to recycle the different jacket types. This has the effect that peak lapels are in the mainstream mind and not at all considered affected but in two years, I wonder if some people wont consider you dated. Not that that should be a problem but people make stupid decisions when theythink theyre in the know.

But DB suits for me are more fashionable than ever when no one else is wearing them. But, yes I am convinced that they also loom on the horizon for the designers. How else could they get everyone to throw out their one button peak lapel suits?

Oh my and they have hats of the lowest caliber possible :

Paul Stuart's pick-stitching is, as they say on VH1, awesomely bad LOL.

I was in Saks this past weekend looking at the new DB Kiton coats that just came in and, sadly, the Kiton stuff makes Paul Stuart look like a suit you get on sale at JC Penny's for USD89.99.

I need to stop torturing myself

I understand that designers will be showing a lot of DB in their collections this year. Should be interesting.

Looked at it and looked at it and just do not care for DB and cannot learn to do so.
