Thanks for the effort, buler. Some interesting scans, even though I have to say that those skinny legged pants aren't really to my liking.

note the upward-buttoning, scalloped welt pocket. very similar to the one seen recently on the back of a pair of German trousers.

Very interesting, thank you! Like others, I am intrigued, not to say a little disturbed, by the trousers, especially the lack of break on the day suit trousers, but autre temps, autre moeurs, I suppose! I also find it intriguing how waisted the sack coats appear to be, compared to what I think of as a sack shape these days.

Thanks guys. I'm glad its appreciated. I still have to take pictures of the fabric samples that remained in the book.
