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!
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.
