YES, INSPECTOR

Great TV inspectors of days gone-by always tried to teach us that trench coats were groovy, but Clouseau never looked this good. The sexiness in this picture comes from the clean lines, the mandatory upturned collar, the sleeves designed to fold just below the elbow and the wide belt with the buckle sassily tucked away to the side.
