BTW I also spent some time rescanning and touching up this beautiful photograph:

I rescanned at 1200dpi and cropped it down after a careful edit in Photoshop. Now look at it! Isn't it just lovely! :wub:

Notice the way the coat is cut with fancy Raglan sleeves.

Sator,
thank you for these fantastic images.
On the jacket with the sleeves Raglan, this is the first time I have seen such (I'll be curious to see the back of jacket).
I particularly appreciate the Jacques Fath's overcoat (i've seen others realisation of Jacques Fath, this man was amazing !).
The Balmain 1957's DB have a superb collar (both)

All this form the eye.
