    Suits - Pre 1920

    and here it is; link button, waist seam, except with two sets of non-functioning buttons rather than one (and i haven't photoshopped it). oh, and a curved breast pocket... anything you can possibly imagine was done in the late teens:

    odd combo. the waistcoat on the chap standing looks almost turn of the century.

    10s-20s Navy blue 2pc suit 40" chest

    not me. these 1910-1914 suits don't excite me in the way that the early 20s ones do.

    Suits - Pre 1920

    looks like a very-narrow-wrap DB. the button nearest the front edge would be the internal button. closed, it would look similar to this: ... edit: ok, i've worked it out. it would look like this: ... no ... forget that, it doesn't work. internal buttons are on the other side...

    more illustration by Leyendecker, 1919-20. the DB suit on the right has some jazz-suit style piped / bound edges:

    Suits - Pre 1920

    yes, it was common on teens - 20s suits to have just one cuff button, or two spaced an inch and a bit apart. i've never seen any as far apart as the first picture in real life.

    girls in guy's garb

    my comment above was tongue in cheek, however, i still think she looks great even if the photo is just a bit of dress up. in general i think that mannish clothes should be cut to fit the female form. (i can't abide the woman in an oversize men's shirt look).

    Tab Collar Shirts Still Available?

    this is a nice fabric and collar shape too: in fact, for me this is the best of the modern offerings so far ... £99 isn't cheap though for a first go.

    Shirt collar oddities - Boardwalk Empire Shirt Collars

    to me it looks like they haven't quite decided where the tie knot should be; in front ? behind ? stuck between the collar edges ?

    Shirt collar oddities - Boardwalk Empire Shirt Collars

    there's lots of no-tie-gap shirts in the early 20s catalogues too, though by now they're softer than the above. dressy: and more casual / work:

    Suits - Pre 1920

    this is dated 1921, but the waist seam suit on the left looks earlier:

    Shirt collar oddities - Boardwalk Empire Shirt Collars

    i'll never understand what they were trying to achieve with the mid teens trend for stiff collars with no tie gap: it looks like the poor tie knot is trapped behind some stuck elevator doors waiting for them to open. not to mention how uncomfortable that stiff collar looks.
