It’s a modern one, but it has a nice Donegal tweed that picks up the oranges and the greens. Last but not least, I have a flat cap, one piece. You can find them in our shop, just like the silk wool pocket square, which is blue with green and off-white micro patterns, trying to tie the entire outfit together with the colors I chose. My socks are orange and blue from Fort Belvedere, they pick up the color of the jacket. I put in contrasting shoelaces to just pick up the lighter-colored theme. My cuffs are maybe a little bigger than in the 1920s, but I wear a pair of leather shoes. But, a single pleat would have been definitely 1920s. So, I have two pleats, which again is not quite 1920s. And I thought it worked well with my white flannel trousers. Can you believe it? The tweed jacket is orange and it has stripes in green and yellow.

I mean, without the jacket, people play tennis in that. In the US at the time, though, men might not have caught on to that fashion yet, and buttoned their waistcoats all the way down. The waistcoat’s bottom also started to create longer, pointier tips, which led to leaving the bottom button of the waistcoat undone. In the ’20s, you would see more the V, more the tie, and more the shirt front. Remember, in the 1910s, they were cut really high. If men still wore waistcoats, they were typically cut lower. That was especially true during the summer months. Waistcoats or vests were no longer mandatory in the 1920s, and you could see men out and about skipping them altogether. Waistcoats and Vests: Now Optional, with a New Cut Most men are like, I dont need to worry about what I look like or thats. They’re often darker, but they have subtle under patterns and different colors, which create this rich depth that is harder to find these days. You see, writers, costume designers and directors use fashion all the time. Overall, I really enjoy the fabric choices of the decade. Unlike today, most jackets back then had no vents because they made them look sleeker, even though when you put the hand in your pocket, your bum might have been exposed a bit.
