So it is not roping but an extension of the shoulder. Like I said. BTW, I teach German, not English. I am not familiar with the right tailoring term for your shoulder... I would say take a pic of the jacket and load it up. Or, better. Go to your tailor and let him do what to do...

I highly doubt that. The maker (not the tailor, the tailor did what the pattern said) wanted that effect... The jacket is from after 1957, according to the union label. And such a shoulder as well as darted bespoke jackets like you saw in 1940s films are not as easy to make as a sack jacket is. Sack jackets are way easier. Way.

There were plenty of hybrids around in the boom years period (most famously Bullitt's tweed), so this could be another example of a maker trying to vary the formula. However it seems unlikely to me that someone would deliberately create a jacket perfect in every single detail, except for the most important of all (the shoulder). Who would want such a jacket? No one back in the day would have bought what must have been a very expensive jacket (cashmere wool mix and horn buttons) if they knew they were going to have to take it to a tailor. Yet who would want a natural shoulder jacket without a natural shoulder?

Maybe the previous owner was embarrassed about their lack of shoulders and wanted the jacket to disguise that - yet it doesn't appear to be bespoke/mtm.

RL madras harrington type jacket, size M which the seller says is 38-40. The accursed pony is there but not very obvious because of the pattern, described as being NWOT. Not everyone's cup of tea but it's sitting there at 30 quid but open to offers.

^^^ i would say its a peach also.
Speak with Yuca he has had nightmares believing peach makers are yellow.

Yuca · 2014-07-22 15:45:56

I've bought 2 yellow Makers OCBDs that turned out to be peach - a colour I cannot wear under any circumstances. I'm not even particularly enthused by the thought of getting a yellow one, and I'll certainly never risk it again. If it's actually listed as peach the chances of it being so are even greater (obviously).

Worried Man · 2014-07-22 20:00:15

I'll be in a yellow 6 button tomorrow. Just ironed it. To be worn with navy worsteds, black belt, black Weejuns. So Yuca, you'll love the black shoes too.

Sports Fan · 2014-07-23 03:59:06

I'd say that's a yellow. I've had one yellow BB OCBD, sold it, and decided I won't ever wear yellow again. Peach is better, but not really a flattering colour for me.

I quite like a pale yellow ocbd myself. I can only wear it in the summer when I have a bit more color, but I think it looks great with navy. Also with faded jeans, maybe khaki too.

Woof, would you mind... I'm trying to flog a shirt here. A very very beautiful shirt.

Armchaired · 2014-07-23 08:57:05

Ville's 6 button is a different class to the Peachy seven button (It is F***ing Peach by the way).
I would bite his hand off if it (the yellow 6) was in my big boy size.

Worried Man · 2014-07-23 11:08:10

I've got to agree with Woof. Peach is a difficult color. I've got a few peach shirts(one being an old Troy Guild, and I usually wear them just to get some use out of them. And I'm never really that stoked on the way the outfit turns out. I guess I could just get rid of them eh?

Tommy · 2014-07-23 11:56:43

just realized thats got a 15" neck as I was about to pm about it... been looking for a blue in 16.5 to 17/ 33

YoungIvy · 2014-07-23 12:51:23

I think that peach shirts absolutely can look fine in summer. I'd wear one untucked, with navy shorts, white sneakers and a nice tan.
