We talk a lot about the peaked and notched lapel but it seems rarer these days to see a shawl lapel. These are mainly reserved for formal wear but even in that they are a dying breed. I'm in this picture with acclaimed pianist Christopher Johnson after one of his concerts. Take note of his shawl lapel but try to ignore my casual look - it was an informal gathering but, I know, there is no excuse for jeans. The shirt is a cool linen 'preacher collar' from the Texas designer Stubs Davis. The stud buttons and cufflinks are pewter.
