Men's jacket with outsize lapels and rolled sleeves?

Has anyone seen a product or products that includes:

  • a man's suit jacket with broad shoulders, outsize lapels, and rolled sleeves
  • a man's shirt with a 'popped', open collar
  • a loosely-knotted necktie

I thought that finding at least some of the parts of this ensemble would be easy, but I'm drawing a total blank.

As to what I want this for, well, the other thing I need for this project is a corgi morph for the DAZ Dog. Any suggestions gratefully received.

OK, 3 2 1 let's jam ...

    Something like a Zoot Suit? Not sure if this would convert well, but might be a starting point

    Yes, that's definitely heading in the right direction (it's even the right color!). I actually saw that one, but I wondered how easy it would be to adapt something designed for a standalone character to say, Genesis 8. That may require a level of DAZ skill greater than I possess.

    I am looking forward to whatever you come up with, because just reading your first message has left me wanting to do a little homage to the series. Sadly, I think it would be easier to recreate Faye than Spike...

    Ties:

    https://www.daz3d.com/flirty-school-uniform-for-genesis-8-female-s For the ladies, but it is the most exaggeratedly loose tie I have seen in the store, and it has a morph to undo the tie completely.

    https://www.daz3d.com/time-for-school-genesis-3-male-s Done by Dogz, so you know the product will be good.

    https://www.daz3d.com/eldritch-seeker Likewise but with Luthbel, though the product is older (G2). The good news is that the shirt, even if it doesn't have a popped collar, has rolled up sleeves, so you could always show Spike with his jacket off, maybe draped over a chair or hanging over his shoulder.

    Jackets:

    I have a lot of suits, but I haven't managed to find a single one with the sleeves rolled. Sorry.

    Shirts:

    https://www.daz3d.com/cool-style-outfit-for-genesis-8-male-s This is the closest I have found to a popped collar in recent generations.

    https://www.daz3d.com/morphing-business-suit This has an actual morph to pop the shirt's collar, but it's a bit old, even if impeccable for its time. Sickleyield's items have been frequently on offer in the PC for a day sale, so you should be able to get it for cheap.

    Thank you, @uthgard, those are some brilliant suggestions. I wouldn't have thought of the schoolgirl outfits, but they might work pretty well. And Spike's collar is not always popped, so that wouldn't be an obstacle.

    Spike is definitely the most challenging of the characters, sartorially speaking. Faye, Ed, and Jet ought to be fairly achievable, given some creative kitbashing using outfits from the store. But reproducing Spike's distinctive style isn't easy.

    And then, of course, I need to find a good corgi morph for Ein ...

    You are welcome. Thinking about it, the Eldritch Seeker with a jacket under the coat could work very well for certain scenes, though I can't picture Ein being near Spike wearing a coat--it usually means nothing good is about to happen. And yes, we need corgis--her Royal Majesty demands it!

    Nice. Thank you, @mada.

    I've just realized that today's new release, Spy Stuff Props and Poses, includes a "lit cigarette" which is, of course, an essential prop for any image of Spike.
