Often times, I hear people say on the forums: Young guys can't wear DB. I can't understand this. I turned 29 yesterday and have worn them for at least 4 years. I feel just as comfortable wearing DB as SB.

I guess more civilian. The observation was based on what I see officers wearing in WWII photos and other pics. It just seems they are very streamlined. Just an observation.

Here's a very odd Cable Car Clothiers DB suit I recently picked up and gave away.

Looked like a keystone 6x2 but the top/second/middle buttonhole was absent.

Price from Dec 2009 for three piece SB = £2850 inc. VAT.

I received a 20% discount on that as they were running a promotion on bespoke tailoring.
