    1920s suits

    yes, but the breeches of the late 1700s were a fashion garment. the breeches noted above are descendants of the type made specifically for riding, which are a different thing to the fashion garment. some people also say that a plus four is a type of breech, so terminology can get confusing...

    1920s suits

    plus fours (knickerbockers) were worn by the man in the street in the early 20s, but i've seen no evidence that breeches were ever worn purely as a fashion garment in the same way. in the U.S. catalogues you only see them as specifically for motorcycling or other outdoor activities. i welcome...

    Show off the sports coats.

    interesting... i wonder if that's because it's for 'stout' men ? it still appears that the rest of the buttons could easily be closed. here's another wide-spaced-button jacket with all buttons fastened:

    nice jacket. IMHO it needs to be worn with the right accessories of it's era, to get the best out of it. in this photo: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?75566-Suits-Pre-1920&p=1817052&viewfull=1#post1817052 ... the jackets are being worn in virtually every buttoning...

    new Fox cotton khakees : £45 a meter. the one on the left isn't as bright as it appears in the photo. it's more like a natural 'stone' colour.

    Vintage Polo Shirts

    an ex-girlfriend of mine had a men's polo shirt which i'm certain was 20s. it was in a slippery rayon jersey, very finely woven, not much texture, just a small rib. wish i'd managed to claim it. [huh]
