Suits - Pre 1920

[Papperskatt]

Purely decoration. That makes sense. It shows once again how experimental the teens were when it comes to suit designs.

and here it is; link button, waist seam, except with two sets of non-functioning buttons rather than one (and i haven't photoshopped it).
oh, and a curved ****** pocket... anything you can possibly imagine was done in the late teens:

 

[Papperskatt]

Awesome! I'd wear that in a heartbeat.

A freind of mine bought this rather handsome tweed three peice at the weekend. Tailors lable says its made in Oxford. I think it's late teens, what do think?

[Papperskatt]

Wow! Could you get a picture of the back?

 

[Two Types]

Fantastic. Not that i know anything about this period of suits, but something tells me it might be earlier.

 

[Barmey]

Wow! Could you get a picture of the back?

I'll ask. The back is fairly plain. Have you noticed it doesn't have a ****** pocket?

 

[Papperskatt]

Have you noticed it doesn't have a ****** pocket?

Not until you pointed it out.

I'm quite sure that it's earlier than late teens. The shape of the trousers fishtail makes me even think pre 1910, but that's just a guess.

I'm super jealous of your friend! I hope that it's not a size 36S, if it is then I'm not sure that I'll be able to sleep tonight.

 

[herringbonekid]

well, i think teens is a safe bet, but i couldn't be more accurate.
we just don't have enough clear photos of British suits of that period to compare it to.

Those are opera pumps, mostly worn with white tie. Who knows why he beat them up. I sort of like it thought...
