Staying with a guy who is in his 60's I think &  talks just like Get Smart. Lots of black, darted, European shouldered, mainly 3 btn suits & 3 btn black suits with a "shadow" stripe, if that is the term (centre vent, side vent, ventless, in order of popularity), with white plain point shirts on ordinary French businessmen. 3 on the cuff usually. The darts don't shape the coat too much on the whole. No wasp-waisted English styles are truly popular. Mainly worn with sober ties and large 'silver' status conscious watches. Shoes are black and have a longer toe on the whole. Double reverse pleat Trou. are common with a very long break. Fantastic American real Trad dressers and Japanese real Trad dressers too in the cafes. I have been away from all this for far too long. Cigarette and alchohol consumption still everywhere. Both are still guilt-free, enjoyed and celebrated. Women still with legs and lips. Also still enjoyed and celebrated. The 3 btn suits are buttoned to taste: All, just the middle, just the top. There is no rule. Male grooming remains pinpoint acurate. Everybody still checks out everybody else's ass. And everybody likes this just fine.
Jack.
