Definitive "Books on Menswear" Thread
How true! Irony and tongue in cheek humour do not seem to be much evidenced or appreciated nowadays in the US of A, beyond the film Thank You For Smoking. Makes one wonder how Charlie Chaplin and Stan Laurel had such success! Maybe they ought to get out of the lavatories more and avoid...- clubman

True enough, but academia is nearly all one can resort to with the current state of formal dress. Just pointing out that in very specific circles, it's still alive, which I find heart-warming. Yes. Three cheers! It'll remain in certain specific places.- clubman

Oddly enough, the black vest with tailcoat is still alive in unexpected parts of Europe. Apparently this is related to those countries whose universities have strong German influences. I don't know the exact sphere of influence, but at least the Nordic Countries. It's only used in the daytime...- clubman

What is the origin and history of vents in men's coats?
Clubman, that is lovely, and quite interesting. Thank you very much. I've got both your books on order. I look forward to reading them, and to vol. 3 coming out. Thanks, Archivist! There is a bit more on vents in Book I too but, as you have that on order, I won't spoil the fun!- clubman

You forget the overarching concern: the Irish Guards uniform has lots of shiny gold. Of course, that was a factor too.- clubman
