Hottest news for the cold season are tailored outfits made from a new super-stretch fabric that feels more comfortable, sticks much closer to the facts. For $65, Jack Winter has whipped up a stretch suit with a thin, double-breasted jacket that would look more familiar in a Courreges workshop than on a practice slope.
