Return of the DB


I have not purchased or even tried on a Double Breasted jacket in nearly 20 years. The Sartorialist seems to be fascinated with them lately and refers to them as "DB". I saw a lightweight wool one in Barneys New York from Prada and the fit was amazing, but it was also extremely expensive and I did not want to invest in a piece that I was afraid was only a passing fancy. When I went to Prada Soho and saw this Pressed Denim version from the Red Line, the price was right and the fit was fantastic. It is cut very short with a very shaped/padded shoulder and high armhole. I like the way it looks with my white Uniqlo jeans, Paul Smith shirt, Hermès pocket square and Prada loafers. I wore this outfit for our shopping expendition to the Avenue Montaigne and the Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
