thread_title: Images needed

message: This is a simple little article; it should be easy to finish it off quickly.  We need some refs for the modern fashion stuff (not my thing) and a free photograph of a shawl lapel, so we can put in three real illustrations.  Nearly there.—Kan8eDie (talk) 00:20, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: If you want to add such a claim to the article (which dies not jibe with the known history of the suit jacket) it is you who should do the research. Saying someone else should go to a research library to find sources for your hypothesis is just rude. So is calling pretty much anyone who doesn't buy your claims ignorant and biased. oknazevad (talk) 13:57, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

* Dear Anthony, I see you User:Anthony Appleyard added the picture of the boilersuit back again. I am still not convinced how useful it is however, for the same reasons I gave last time when removing it: firstly, jacket lapels do not derive from boilersuits (at the very least, show a period coat, like a frock, or dress coat);  secondly, this is technically OR; finally, the picture is not a very well-shot one anyway. I would personally prefer if you removed it. Thanks, Kan8eDie (talk) 22:45, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Boilersuit image

message: I came here to quickly find out what a lapel was. I first looked in my dictionary which did not have an image. I was still not sure what it was. Looking at the images allowed me to understand what a lapel was. The series of pictures on the left were better than the one on the top right. I was still not sure after looking at the picture on the top right. That is all :) --Boy.pockets (talk) 10:38, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The "unorthodox" in the caption was inappropriate, per the mandate that Wikipedia be descriptive, not prescriptive (per WP:NPOV. It's a peaked lapel, period. There's no reason to describe it beyond that, especially in passing a judgement. oknazevad (talk) 18:00, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Feedback 

message: In recent times there has been some attempts to make lapel-less Jackets. It could write some about that.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.239.225.175 (talk) 23:53, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lapel-less Jackets 

message: The article and illustrations are entirely centered on menswear, and it's not clear these distinctions and categories apply elsewhere. I would add some content myself, but don't have the knowledge and can't find a good source elsewhere online - precisely the reason I looked here. Looking at women's suits online, trying to compare (to each other and to a suit of my own that I need to describe), I see that in particular, are typically described as "peak lapel", "shawl collar" are used, as are some others. It would be great to be able to tell whether or not my suit has peak lapels or notched, but this content doesn't help.

replies: text: The structure and types of lapels are the same whether it's a men's or women's jacket. Shawl collars may be more common on women's jackets than on men's, but the structure of a continuous curve of folded cloth is the same. Other than mentioning fashion (and good luck keeping up with that), there's really not much to add. As it is, I think the article needs to avoid overstating the supposed "rules". oknazevad (talk) 00:28, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
