I'm another one for cuffs. The correct period look. Also, as a matter of personal preference, where I have the cohice I would opt for cuffs on anything other than formalwear (maybe my inner rockabilly coming out?).

It certainly wasn't meant as an insult. I thought he looked sharp, and it was the first time I'd seen a double-breasted vest beneath a double-breasted jacket. Double-breasteds are a bit too intense a look for me personally, but I love them on others.

Alas, it was not meant to be. The suit arrived this this morning, and it looks horrible on me. The entire suit is cut very long, straight, and wide. The jacket may as well be a raincoat. Somebody may look good in this style (I'm thinking Steve Harvey and his ilk), but not me. The clock is ticking and I may spend the next couple of days running around town looking for a replacement, but it's starting to look like I'll be wearing something I already own. Ah well.

I had lost some weight and wound up having both my black and my green hornet suits taken in a bit.

Sounds like you suit is beyond the tailor's magic to make it work.

Sorry to hear it, Slim. What a disappointment! Good luck in the Plan B search.

It's in San Pedro right next the Art deco looking theatre. That may be best description from the out of towners.
