Jacket Question...

Matt:
Where did you get the gray jacket with the recoil pad, working sleeve buttons and bi-swing back?

Great post, Matt.
I have heard the functional sleeve buttons called "Surgeon's Cuffs." Have you heard this?
I recently bought a single-breatsed suit with peak lapels, functional sleeve buttons, and a bright retro-style lining. I will be posting pics soon. I think you'll like it, Matt.
BTW, I couldn't agree more with your opinion of Peterman. He, or they, are the only company that shares my sensibilities.

 

[Matt Deckard]

They have been called surgeons's cuffs yes; though the style outdates the term.

Great post, Matt. I had never read of no-flap pockets being called Besom pockets.

Should you have some time on your hands, how about a post of fabrics and stitchings?

I own a navy blue pinstripe sweater by Polo, that has the belted back and the many pleats above it.
I love the belted back and bi-swing arms in a sport coat. Especially, to wear teaching and when writing on the board.

Besom-

Matt, what you call a 'Besom' pocket is also widely known as a (plain) 'Welt' pocket- just like on a pants' back pocket. As we all know, a welt pocket can have a flap or not- on many suit jackets, the flap can be 'out' or 'in'- when it's in, it looks like it's not there at all and just the welt shows-

Isn't that also known as a "Jetted" pocket? I think i saw it called that somewhere ...

I had a good thrifting day today. I just picked up a jacket very similar to the one above. Belted back, patch/style pockets with flaps and pleats, action back. Unfortunatly it's too small for me so tomorrow I'll take some pics and offer it in the classifieds section.

I also got a sweet double breasted formal jacket (just the bottom part buttons) with very peak lapels. Say's it's a 44 long, my size but seams a tad too big even for me.

I wish the belted one was my size... Nice jacket Matt

Soon!

I just bought a suit with pit guards that are made of the suit fabric instead of an extra layer of lining. Is that unsusual?

 

[Matt Deckard]

That is something I would like to see. can you take some pictures?

 

[Robert Conway]

Speaking of details, here is a rather strange looking suit.
Never seen one of these before.

Hope it's ok to post this link to ebay, in this section...

It's a late 1960s Carnaby Street piece (or a Hong Kong knock-off from the time).

Armpit Shielding

For Matt Deckard:
The armpit sweat-shield is made of the wool of the jacet, not another layer of lining. No, it isn't just a patch of lining missing. It's actually a piece of the jacket material.

 

[Matt Deckard]

Look like the maker trying to show the buyer that they spared no expense in making the suit.

I usually see the satin, though the leads me to believe that they had wool to spare.

Top drawer!

I still have some lining pics to show from an Oxxford, some vintage suits and a few other moderns.

Also different stitching types. Keep your eyes pealed for updates to this thread.
