well this movie has generated a lot of pub too. for some reason i get Brooks Bros advertising in email, and they have RIDICULOUS looking gatsby-esque suits. i thought it was odd bc you think of brooks bros as NO STYLE just fuddy duddy staid and stuffy banker type suits, and this is anything but that. One of the ads had a PINK suit in it!

someone please tell me WHO would wear these things and WHERE?

#2 suit was very di regueur in Houston, TX in the oil biz in the 60's and 70's, although the shoes would be all white, or black and white with more white than black. #1 jacket looks like it escaped from a barbershop quartet.

My husband wore a suit like #2 to London in the summer to call on a customer, and an oil driler bought his shoes right off of him. Insisted. 'Cuz there was nothing like that available in London.

'Ya think?
