So you've always admired those suits of the 1930s and 40s but wondered if you'd be thought a 'gangster'. Understanding this quandary, Kingston '66 developed 'The Chairman', a 6x2 double-breasted that calls to mind oak desks and hard decisions rather than bank jobs and gun molls. The matching stripe lapels are a straight and bold 5 1/2" wide and the double rear vents are a modern 9" long. Ticket pocket is recommended but optional.
Trousers are single pleat and dart with coin pocket. Options include button-fly or zip. Exterior sidestraps recommended, but droploops are available upon request.
Black chalkstripe shown is a two to three season winter-weight flannel available in several shades and without stripe. The summer-weight shown is houndstooth but is also available in several varieties of plaid.
