I missed the start of this thread (!) on men's wear, but I recall, in the '40s and '50s, brief popularity of a variant of the three-piece suit, in which the vest and trousers were combined as a single garment, and with conventional jacket (buttoned) looked like any other 3-piece. I forget the name, but they were supposed to be quite comfortable- ask your friends on Savile Row. Cheers, Joe -- J. R. Bruman (818) 789-3694 3527 Cody Road Sherman Oaks, CA 91403-5013
