Men's Style back in 1910

Tailor garment back in the days...... thanks for the upload.

Fascinating.

It's interesting that in those days wool was 'adulterated' with cotton rather than some man-made fibre.

Also it's curious how outsized much of it appears - like son is wearing dad's clothes (and not unlike today).

That was really enjoyable. Thanks for taking the time to scan those and share them.

The shoes look incredible, gorgeous waists on them. The beefy cuffs remind me of denimheads cuffing their unhemmed raw denim straight up.

It may be just the style of the illustrator, but the beautifully narrow shoes seem to be in contrast to wide and loose jackets and coats. This does seem to contrast to Parisian fashion of a similar period which was much more fitted.

very very nice...thanks :)

cool stuff, everything is very baggy though

1910: It's all gone pear shaped.

And people round here seem to think that G&G lasts are outrageous. When in fact, tight waisted shoes, and spade shaped soles have been 'the norm' in many decades.

The illustrator also seems to think that men should have very small heads in proportion to their bodies. Seems like a stylistic choice that was used to further emphasize the baggy and long sack suit that they were promoting.

And yes America was the birthplace of the sack suit and in Europe jackets remained more fitted. The sack suit was particularly appropriate for the RTW industry. As careful fitting was not required.

people had tiny heads back in 1910

Thanks for this, I really enjoyed it. Those shoes.

I notice we were encouraged to have black suits in 1910.

. . . and that trouser cuffs were commonplace.
