Thank you to everyone for your help with the terms and suggestion of other
journals. Does anyone recall hearing the term D-B used for double-breasted
jackets. I am just wondering if this was abbreviations as an industry term.
I was a salesperson in menswear 10 years later and we never referred to
double-breasted jackets as D-B. I asked my mother who is pretty
knowledgeable in fashion and never heard the term B-D.
I recall a tennis neckline...V-shaped sweater but not a tennis collar. Oh!
The good old days...I played tennis on our college team.
Another questionable term from 1968...
Lets go the opposite direction!!! What is a B-D man's knit shirt?
