Product Information

There are two benefits that come from French bearers when they are indeed buttoned: First, they help to ensure a perfectly flat front for the trousers, and thus also ensure that drape is even. Second, they take the pressure off the single button or hook at the middle point on the waistband. Some trousers may also have a cloth tab which buttons towards the right and provides additional support, again taking stress off the center.

Third, some of the details make the coat a little too showy. And this is a note for Whitcomb & Shaftesbury. A common shirt pattern with stripes of equal width in two colors, typically white with something else. So called because they originally shipped to world markets from Bengal, India. The images below show the other type of hook and bar that can be sewn on with small, neat buttonhole stitches around the loops at either end. It is best to test different types on small scraps of your fabric to determine if it will suit the needs of your garment. Bear in mind that you will also have a more secure fastening if the hooks and bars are secured to a strong internal layer, rather than just only being attached to a layer of fabric. So this could mean using strong fusing or a layer of interfacing or canvas as an under layer and attaching your hooks and bars through the fabric to the structure underneath.These were the old and established rules, they told me, simple rules, the middle way between maintaining a classic profile, important!, and being comfortable, which of course was less important. They could know, being born at the beginning of the twentieth century, or even slightly before that, into the upper and mostly well dressed classes. This is all made in Whitcomb’s Indian workshop, under their Classic Bespoke offering – so cut and fitted in the UK, but with all other work in southern India. The belt itself also gives you a few different ways to wear the coat - varying by how open you leave the coat before tying it. You can wrap the two sides completely, and tie it together so the silhouette is the same as a normal overcoat (above). From the very beginning, we discussed the design of the coat as one which could be reversed later on.

We did, however, have the foresight to set aside a strip of the cloth – so the belt can be re-made at some point if it becomes frayed.) But here it worked fine, and presuming the belt stays fastened, the whole front of the body is protected from the wind and the cold. If it could work - traditionally - over a polo shirt and tennis shorts, surely it can work over denim? (Though perhaps darker and straighter than my Cone-Mills Levi’s, pictured). This is very odd! Last year I saw a photo of Stan Laurel on the Queen Mary wearing what I later identified as a Polo/Wrap coat which I learned were very popular pre-war.Also known as side-tabs, these are found on trousers with no belt loops as a tightening mechanism. Traditionally seen on tuxedo trousers. Equally, design choices like the ends of the belt have already been changed when they weren’t what I wanted – they were originally rounded, but look better (and are more standard) as an asymmetric point. Lovely as a DB is (and it is – it can be so flattering and masculine), the style is always at risk of looking formal or old-fashioned. A British term that refers to what Americans call “suspenders.” Sartorially correct braces are pieces of fabric (sometimes silk, sometimes not) that sit on the shoulders and attach to the trousers’ waistband via buttons to hold them up. Clip-on braces are incorrect. That means you have to fairly regularly re-tie the belt You can use a double knot, but that looks bulky and inelegant.
