What is a Tautz lapel?
The Tautz lapel, or rather the Tautz collar, worn by author Gay Talese in the photo, is a jacket collar with a notch that is parallel to the ground. It was a specialty of the Savile Row tailoring firm of E. Tautz & Sons, long since absorbed into Norton & Sons. In its heyday, Tautz made for some of the world's best dressed men.

The question is, does his waistcoat have the same lapel? It would have to, wouldn't it?
Could be a shawl collar.
Don't care for it. But I'm not entirely certain if that's because I truly don't, or because I've never enjoyed Gay Talese's sense of style. (Though I acknowledge it's unfailingly artful, and I very much admire his other talent!)
