Magnoli Clothiers "Princeton" suit.
https://host385.ipowerweb.com/~indyprop/osCommerce/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=77&osCsid=b329335bad1996119c59b76eebdb4db2
I wonder if the Trads would like this?
Punch in a 3rd button hole, get a centre vent sliced up the back...
Any thoughts?

Re: Magnoli Clothiers "Princeton" suit.
The proportions don't quite seem right to me.
I have a 3-piece tweed suit in an olive donegal from Brooks Brothers that I love. Ticket pocket, side vents, plain front pants.
I work in a museum--no clients, board meetings, dealing with the public--so I can wear what I like.
You're right, Mr. Buff--everyone seems to like it.

A fine suit, but I don't care for the lack of a vent. I prefer two vents to none any day.

Re: Magnoli Clothiers "Princeton" suit.
Like all RTW only a fool would wear it without altering it to his own taste. I've never known RTW to actually be RTW in my life.
It's darted and the shoulders may contain too much construction & the coat too much shape...
It all depends on what you decide "Trad" is.
Its marketing seems to be film based if you look at the other suit options.
What do "Trads" think Princeton Professors wore in the 30's?
Is that the period they seek to reproduce?

You'd have to be unbalanced to wear this suit?
