    Oxford Bags

    so was the semi-Oxford the style that became the ubiquitous wide legged trouser of the 30s and 40s ? or did they just make the name up as something novel sounding ? what defines a semi-Oxford ? and where are the ads for the full Oxford ? questions, questions, questions.

    1920s suits

    i think it's the spats. they look too dressy for that outfit (and they draw the eye down too much).

    Show off the sports coats.

    i'm going to take Fastuni's point that the high buttoning of BK's jacket is for riding rather than style. i had hoped that it was a British version of the high buttoning U.S. suits of the early 20s, but evidence of a UK version of this trend is still lacking (if anyone has evidence that there...

    Q, what's your opinion on the date of Baron's jacket ?

    Fastuni, i admit to knowing very little about vintage equestrian styles (not an area of interest) so you could be right. i saw the high buttoning and got excited ! p.s. i have a photo of a 1931 British hacking jacket; it doesn't have the high button placement.

    looks late teens - early 20s to me Baron. any labels inside ? (it goes without saying that i'm very envious of a British jacket that old).

    agreed. their type of quirky-cool is very modern looking, especially when you consider the photo is somewhere around 1918.

    No Front Dart

    the majority of 30s belt back sports jackets have two front darts.
