What type of suit is Cary Grant wearing in this photo?

[Matt Deckard]

From Esquire:

"Although Grant, who is fifty-six, favors such abominations as large tie knots and claims to have originated the square-style breast-pocket handerchief, he is so extraordinarily attractive that he looks good in practically anything. He insists upon tight armholes in his suit jackets ... Something of a maverick as to tailors, he now goes to Quintino (around $225 a suit) in Beverly Hills, California, and, whenever possible, certain of the preposterously low-priced geniuses in Hong Kong."

.

Hmmm I do like the fact that they didn't call it a "TV" fold... I hate that term... 80's creation to make it sound "new cool".

fftopic: Grant's sexuality is no one's business and therefore not great for "either side".

Back on topic.

... what?

Anyway...back to old Cary's dress sense...

Absolutely a man of great satorial elegance right into old age. Not sure if I would have the heart to get his suits tailored to my size even if I could get hold of one or two of them. In fact, I think I'd have them sealed in a glass case for all to look at.

He's definitely a style icon if ever there was one. Him and Edward VIII.
