Custom sport coats by the legendary Paris tailor and member of the Groupe des Cinq Max Evzeline, tailor to among others Denis Sassou-Nguesso and Gilbert Becaud. First, a 2000 custom sportcoat in Loro Piana cashmere. Second, a very 1970s wide-lapel “gun club” checked sportcoat with a hand-stitched inner pocket like those created by de Luca and Camps, and a milanaise buttonhole.

Max Evzeline

Paris tailor, member of the iconoclastic Groupe des Cinq, artist who had an art gallery. I write about him and the other custom tailors and shirtmakers of Paris in my book, Swan Songs: Souvenirs of Paris Elegance, available through the link in my bio. Here, some vintage sportcoats of his that came up for sale. His son Raymond closed down his shop in the 2010s following a multi-million dollar settlement of account by a world leader.

Groupe des Cinq lapel notch and milanaise-style detailed buttonhole.

The extra “secret” pocket in the lining that the Groupe des Cinq tailors made a fetish.
