Michael Caine in Get Carter (1971, suit by Doug Hayward) demonstrating why men’s suiting  was not all loud and fussy in the ’70s. Doug Hayward was one of the sartorial wizards to emerge in 1960s London; from his tailoring business at 95 Mount Street, Mayfair, he brought a new personality to the serious man’s attire, instilling the traditional English style with a dash of Italian flair. The high, deep collar, the tone-on-tone blues radiating out from the thickly knotted tie, the very visible, very lairy cufflinks; this may be the sober seventies, but [Caine’s character] Jack is taking a little bit of London pizzazz back to his decidedly bleak looking home town of Newcastle.
