It is not an excessively wide peak for American double-breasted jackets from 1926-1930. However, other details on this suit point toward it being from the late '30s to late '40s.

Another insane 20's invention (from 1921). I wonder what it would look like in reality.

This one, same year, doesn't have a gorge at all.

How about that collar? would assume its removable (?) but its 'cutaway' by the looks of the drawing. Then again it's a sketch and may not be that detailed (as the gorge may also be unintentionally been ommited)- brilliant sketch non the less and love the stance/position

I wonder what the 'fibre sole' was on those tennis shoes? The crepe soled ones are from 1924. In the brochure it said that crepe rubber soles were first introduced in the UK two years earlier. Might be a useful thing to remember for dating purposes in the unlikely event of some early crepe soled shoes coming up for sale.

Hi guys!
I've been looking thru this thread and I must say that I'm amazed with the amount of knowledge that has been shared regarding 1920s suits. However, I'm still searching for the secret behind the straight cut 1920s trousers. Can someone please point out some of the main factors that made them look so straight with zero break?
I also wonder what type of method they used to crease the trousers. The creases looked super sharp and almost "unbreakable" compared to how they look now in modern days. Is there a way to replicate that?
I'll be happy with any type of answers and/or observations!
