Educate me oh wisened Loungers
Mainly directed to Matt and Wild Root since I see you guys mention them the most.
Why do you like the pleated, yoked, and or belted backed suit? I must admit it's unique, and classy, but is there a practical reason? Comfort, fit maybe? Thanks in advance for your reply, Daniel Riser |

Well, I'm not Joseph or Rob, but I believe its probably a matter of comfort, fit, and class. I mean, I myself like how the belted back jackets look, and I imagine they'd probably fit pretty well and be comfortable.

Daniel, they are purely for the style!! Also, they are the rarest of vintage as they were most popular between 1935 & 45. this was the period when it was an hourglass form fitting shape.
Too cool!! |

I'm with Art. They were style.
The half belt ads nothing to the suit but more fabric. the pleats do the same. I do however believe that a jacket with a bi-swing back ads maneuverability, or at least makes it feel more roomy with the look of being fitted. I just like the style. |

I think my biggest problem with them is I am cursed with the past "Indygear"mentality and it reminds me too much of Harry's jacket.
Time will change me. Regards, Daniel Riser P.S. Art! It was an honour to meet you Saturday. Did you get my order for the hat? |

Man, if I were say, 5' 4" and a size 38Reg, I would have more then just one of these betled sweets. Oh if I were not a size 44 long life would be sweeter.

Well, it didn't take much time to change him!LOL Dan was over and he tried on my belted back. After that, he's now on a mission to find one that fits me better so we can work out a trade. Root.

This is quite the resurrected thread. Dan ended up loving the belt backs.
Anywho, my ancient statements stand. |
