The worst misconception of men who are considered fashionable is homosexuality. More men would entertain the notion of being well-dressed if they believed their manhood wouldn't be questioned.

3 AND A HALF MEN

 

Hi guys!I know its been a while since i've done a post,but i am back with a new found love! The 3/2 rolled norman hilton blazer. Alittle background on Mr. Hilton, known as Ralphie money man,Norman was one of the original men to create what we now know as the "off the rack suit".In 1966 Norman was hitting his stride. Orders were coming in like never before. The influence and renown of Norman Hilton Clothes had reached almost mythic proportions. It was the “in” thing, sold in every better respected shop in the country. The blazers have a higher 3/2 roll like many Hiltons did. The lapel roll is a true roll, not a foldover. Great narrow lapels, partially lined, lap seams, hook vent. Plus a removable throat latch with stowaway MOP buttons on the interior--fantastic!
