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.
