    30s-40s British Workwear Influenced Style

    they had button down collars in the teens, 20s, 30s & 40s, but they're not a style you would associate with a 30s-40s labourer. you can't get more labourer than the collarless style.

    30s-40s British Workwear Influenced Style

    fear not, they had eight-piece caps in England in the 20s-40s period: ... they just weren't as common as the two piece / flat cap. you'll see more as you go back into the late Victorian period.
