In the 1920s the Grieco brothers ran a thriving tailor shop on New Yorks 5th Avenue. Their custom made suits embodied a fundamentally British attitude toward clothing -- the natural shoulder philosophy. This was somewhat iconoclastic for the times as fashion dictated a more exaggerated look -- heavy padding at the shoulder.. more severe tapering at the waist.. deep pleats. While this 1920s look becomes trendy from time to time the natural shoulder style -- with its simpler cleaner lines -- has become a time-honored classic. Price: $645.00 |
