Why can't Manton have a conversation with people without getting angry, nasty and personal?  Further, I notice he tells some people that their opinion has no authority but as Horace points out ^, Manton just assumes that he's an expert. Did he go to design school? What exactly are his credentials to tell people what to wear?

Good call! The Cotton Knit is very All American - We never used to have them England. A part of their charm is the way they age & fade & fray. Patina a-go-go! Especially the basic Navy - Always so great with a white BD & Chinos.
'Trads' will note that Charlie Brown (is that right?) wore a Pink cotton knit  in Stillman's Metrop. - Looked like a Brooks too.

lnteresting viewpoint from Mr Kabbaz.

I prefer a smoother transition between the chest and skirt. I don't necessarily think Steed did it that well on the pictured jacket but I really don't like the sharp transition of Matt's jacket - it makes it look like his waist is right below his tits. That said , my jackets are cut with a swelled chest- but it's more of an hourglass than a wine glass.

Good diagrams though.
