Mooi, behalve de schuine paspelzakken. Maar is dit nu z'n mammie?

Grappig hoe Charlie's foto's zo in tegenspraak zijn met zijn tekst ('handtekening') onder aan z'n posts...
EDIT: zie hierboven (wederom) een tweeknoops jasje dat zo gesneden is dat beide knopen dicht gedragen kunnen worden. Zou kunnen dat Edward het op deze foto koud had, en besloot het jasje helemaal dicht te doen. D., weet jij iets meer te vertellen over waarom en wanneer men begon de onderste jasknoop open te laten?
Suit and Sports jackets are symbols of authority. However the bottom buttons of men's jackets are not designed to be buttoned, since King Edward VII gained weight, and started a fashion trend (see detail below).Single Breasted suits can have one, two, three or more buttons. Two and three button jackets are classic, one or more than three get you into the fashion forward arena, which is more suitable for social events than business. With two button jackets only the top button is fastened. With three button jackets, you can close the middle, or middle and top button. Some suits are made so that the lapels roll to the middle button. On those suits you leave the top button unfastened. Some East Coast hipsters fasten only the top of three buttons! Four or more button jackets may be designed to fasten all the buttons, even the bottom. If the bottom button of a four button can be closed without a noticeable pulling of the fabric, it’s ok to close or leave it open.Double Breasted suits are the more formal of the two styles and can have four to six buttons with one or two “to button”. They are often identified by a two-number designation such as 4/2, 4/1 or 6/2 (also “four to two”).Translated, the first number gives the total number of front buttons and the second is the number of functioning buttonholes. It doesn’t always mean that all the buttons have to be fastened. Often only the middle or upper button is secured on a 4/2 or 6/2, but the Duke of Kent started buttoning only his lower button creating a longer diagonal line across his chest giving the wearer a thinner, more dynamic look.Why do men never button the bottom button of your suit, sports jacket, vest or Cardigan sweater? King Edward VII, “Bertie”, son of Victoria (1841 – 1910, King 1901 - 1910) was so heavy that he could not get the bottom button fastened on his vest or to be more historically kind, maybe he just forgot. His subjects taking it as a fashion statement followed his lead and today most men’s suits, sports jackets or vests are not designed to button the bottom button. The tradition of not buttoning the bottom button may have also come from the early waistcoats, which were very long. It may have been out of necessity of being able to walk that the bottom buttons were left undone.
Volgens AAAC:
Volgens mij Hans Ubbink op maat.
Too busy, maen, too busy. Rokhemd, vlinderdas, opgestroopte mouwen met mouwophouders, té lage taille... Nou ja.
De jas met de bontkraag is geweldig! Zijn die ergens te verkrijgen, dat jullie weten?
Ik vind het een maffialook en ik denk dat het in de film Trading Places als karikatuur is bedoeld.
Nee hoor, volgens mij was dat very Wall Street in de eighties en ook very stock broker!
