    Collegiate Pants

    i don't think this photo has been posted in this thread already so here it is: looks like America, early - mid 20s. the trousers look about 14 " the fact that there's a crowd suggests that these are a bit of an 'event' trouser.

    you often see the yoke on workwear trousers: ... it seems pretty mad that a measly two inches more of fabric could cause such a problem, but it occurs often enough that it obviously did.

    on most suit trousers the yoke is made from the same fabric, and the most likely explanation is that it was done simply to save fabric when cutting pieces out and make the most economic use of odd pieces (see fabric 'lay').

    nice suit ! i think that's the smallest rear trouser yoke extension i've ever seen (the bit beneath the rear belt loop).

    Hoarders Have To Go.

    if a rich car collector trashes his 1932 Ford model 18 it's sad, but there were plenty more of them made, and plenty more still well looked after. if the Glasgow School of Art - a one of a kind historic Art Nouveau building - suffers a major fire as it did today, it's a tragedy.

    Hoarders Have To Go.

    i don't think buildings and 'consumables' such as cars, clothing, shoes, furniture and household appliances which have a much more limited (and personal) life-span are comparable.

    Putting it all together

    you've misread Edward; it's the trousers and waistcoat which match and the jacket which would be 'odd'. not impossible to do but certainly trickier.
