A study in British tailoring expertise and the Neo-Edwardian Aesthetic of the mid-50’s. Note the lower fronts of the suit, they’re very square, even by British standards! Almost like a DB coat or even a frock coat & yes those are cloth covered buttons.

a peak lapeled single breasted three piece lounge suit in an over-checked sharkskin wool. Matched with an overcoat in a large scale herringbone, spotted tie, bowler hat, shined black oxfords and a carnation, pretty much perfect!
