      Prototypes are done, and the are being made in Germany as I write this. I hope we have the first ones in the shop soon. They will have a mechanic and not come out of the buttonholes, unlike the vintage ones I own. the first set will be matching to the cufflinks, and you will be able to choose how many you buy...

    • @gentlemansgazette
      @gentlemansgazette  Před 5 lety +66

      The jacket has already been suppressed at the waist; its shoulders are large, due to the "bold look" that was popular during the mid-1950s. As for the trousers, they've got a much fuller cut than is popular today, and a few of the clips we featured did seem to exaggerate the wrinkling that's present, but I'm chalking that up to lighting and a modified stance to illustrate the pleats (in addition to my naturally rotated hips, which I've mentioned elsewhere). With all that said--thanks for watching and commenting! :)

      A suit will soon be a daily when I have enough to do so.

Now I have to ask again, can real tuxedo trousers be without a galon since mine don't have one :/

      As for the style: yes, the "bold look" of the mid-1950s was much fuller cut than the slim fashions of today--additionally, I've already had it tailored to some degree. As for the fibers and dust: they're only visible because of our intense studio lighting (and not to the naked eye). We gave the jacket and trousers a thorough brushing before filming. :) Thanks for watching!
