HannibalBarca3 10/07/17 11:19:54 PM #12:	Depends Trickfinger posted... Nope, not the word I'm looking for It specifically described those big ass baggy suits guys wore in the 50s I think the correct term is called "drape suit". I should know, I've own quiet a few of them from the 1930s to the 1950s. The style came from Dutch tailor Frederick Scholte and became popular in the 1930s,1940s,1950s,1980s and 1990s. It differs greatly from the earlier cuts of the 20th century as it's usually nipped at the waist with drape in the chest(you see the cloth bunching vertically in the chest) and it has extended and padded shoulders. It gives off a masculine silhouette. In contrast to the previous period which had much tighter cuts. To the modern eye this may seem oversized but it's not. Here's an example with some other cool styles like the belted back. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7c/1a/89/7c1a89a063ca7e7f02d520c08f8ee6bd.jpg There was a more extreme version of the drape cut called the "bold look" as seen in this illustration from the late 1940s and 1950s. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e2/a2/de/e2a2de0f0fe71a5e44996b83f7678c7d.png Oh and also the zoot suit is based off it too but it's also extreme. --- Aut viam inveniam aut faciam.
