It's all personal choice I suppose. Myself, double breasted flap pockets and welt chest, always gilt or brass buttons.

Im still with Jicky @ 4.4.2024. For work now use Hermes Eau d' Orange when I travel - they sell it is small bottles as a set .

Writing is a real skill and needs to be practiced often. It's a pity I could not have written this note.

It seems Mohair/Wool is the perfect blend for anyone who travels a lot. It always looks good even straight out of the suitcase. I have just had one made in slate grey at Welsh and Jefferies - very pleased, and the colour looks good at evening functions.
