Fascinating article about how Charlie Watts not only bought several of the Duke of Windsor’s suits at auction, but actually wore them! Some fascinating photos too:

Except that they look like different suits.

They seem clearly to be different jackets. Note lapels on the pink number- the plaid versus colors at the lapel notch, etc. Likely modeled. Unlikely worn. While Watts was not a large man, isn't he a giant compared to the Duke?

Regarding the glen plaid DB number: Mr. Watts has a six-button front; the Duke, his standard four. Or am I mistaken ?
