Only a DB peak for balance and tradition. Just 'cause it's important to me doesn't mean you have to. <br /><br />Mac- Are you wrong? Yes. A man's jacket buttons L over R. I understand it comes from the side your sword was carried on. Is that me. No. <br /><br />Yetti- I tend to avoid dressing like celebrities. Past and certainly present. They can do things your average mortal can't. <br /><br />Anon- Yes, Bruce was wearing a horn button blazer with grey trousers and like a celebrity he was able to pull it off. I would not recommend this unless you have Boyer's gravitas and style. I sure as heck don't.tintinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652066200071703445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-66936247444179925732011-07-21T07:38:07.208-04:002011-07-21T07:38:07.208-04:00Could you comment on the fact that Mr. Boyer's...Could you comment on the fact that Mr. Boyer's blazer has horn buttons and not brass buttons, possibly implying that this is some sort of orphan jacket from a suit.

Fred Astaire often flaunted it, as can be seen in one of the opening scenes of The Bandwagon. He shows that, if anything, it softens the formality of the db jacket, the curve of the collar adding relief to the sharp angles of the lapels.yettinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349290550527925310.post-33178307475898233202011-07-20T17:42:11.803-04:002011-07-20T17:42:11.803-04:00I am assuming the necessity of both buttonholes is...I am assuming the necessity of both buttonholes is due to the side one buttons the jacket, right?
