Gary Cooper on the set of If I Had a Million (1932)
The proportions! the waistline! the spearpoint collar! the tie!

I made these swim trunks for myself a few months ago. The trunks were cut from a modified trouser pattern which I drafted myself. They are made from 100% cotton shirting with a nylon mesh lining, 6″ zipper fly, elasticized half-waistband in the back, and a 3″ inseam. A fun little project.
