We’ve talked about madras on this site many times, and I’m sure we’ll discuss it in the future. With that said, I must point out the incredible selection of madras there is at O’Connell’s. Not just madras, but the good kind of madras – the India-loomed, bleeding kind. They have everything you can think of – shirts, shorts, trousers, swimsuits, and sportcoats.
The madras sportcoat has made it’s way back to quite a few catalogs lately with the patch version. Fine – but here’s the original. These are the perfect summer staple for any daytime event. They are a statement, pseudo-sartorial piece, but not too ‘costume-y’. Pair it with a white oxford, khakis, and loafers (absolutely NO socks allowed) for the look – I wouldn’t pile too many GTH options with this at the same time. O’Connell’s has the best selection of madras sportcoats on the web. All are three-button un-darted sacks that should be rolled to a 3/2 for a more casual – and classic – look. Feast your eyes:
The jacket in the first photo is great – it’s not loud/flashy but classic and classy. Nice stuff.
The first pattern is classic. This is one of the two ultimate GTH pieces. The other is madras slacks.
What is the price of your madres sport jackets that I see on your web-site ?
