Take special note of the cool belted / action back jacket on the model at the bottom.

Peak Lapel Tweed
This 1930s or early 1940s tweed jacket is an unusual blue color, and has fantastic green swirled buttons. Peak lapels are always a good decision.
Style Icon- Frank Lloyd Wright
Not just one of the most influential architects of the 20th century, but a mighty snappy dresser. Soft collar, soft tweed three piece peak lapel suit, mother of pearl button cufflinks. I’m sure his trademark low porkpie crowned western hat was just off camera. Comfortable and sharp as a tack.

Nudie Suit
Why should ’60s Nashville stars have all the fun? Found this original suit on eBay. Sadly, the pants are much too short. Definitely not an all-the-time thing, but it puts a smile on my face to drag it out from time to time.

Simbols Italian tweed suit
This modern Simbols Italian tweed suit could almost pass for a 1930s suit. Similar cut to the jacket. A bit of 1970s influence to the pockets of the trousers. Button fly.
