    Collegiate Pants

    as cpdv's photo shows, a 22" bottom trouser looks nothing like the flared effect seen in the illustrations. someone a long time ago posted some 20s-30s trousers that did indeed have a slight flare (i.e. the knee was a touch narrower than the bottom... but not by much, see below), but most of...

    Collegiate Pants

    about 22-24 oz, unless you're talking about a very rugged Norfolk type suit, as oppose to a smart suit, in which case you could probably go a bit higher. (you could find Shetland / Scotch tweeds with a nearly identical look in the 18-20 oz range more suitable for suits)

    1920s suits

    great photos Patrick, thanks. i particularly like the first one; it's amazing just how popular boots were for the average man in the 20s.
