    Cuffless trousers - snagging problem

    A fishtail is when the back of the trousers rise higher than the front in what looks like a fish's tail. This is done when one wears braces with their trousers. Also, to solve the snagging problem, I usually hem my cuffs so they fall about 3/4 - 1" above the heel of my shoe. James

    What about the classic White Suit?

    My guess would be this is because gabardine is not breathable, and as white suits tend to be more common in warm climates and such, it is rather rare to find a white gabardine suit these days. Also, didn't the protagonist in the Great Gatsby wear a white flannel suit to one of Gatsby's parties?
