Vanity Fair 1922 My source was an on-line copy of the magazine, not the book. Granted, it's just one source—and it seems abundantly clear that various sources have historically taken a variety of positions on proper attire. My point simply was that a source to which people who wore formal dress...- bradbunnin

White tie and cane Vanity Fair reporting on the London scene in 1922: the crooked malacca cane appears both in daytime use and with white tie and tails. Fashions change, of course; but I'd say Vanity Fair is authoritative for its era.- bradbunnin

An odd formal shirt I acquired a Manhattan shirt, most likely from the 1930s, and it's a bit different from many. It's a tone-on-tone, foldover collar, French-cuffed, four-pleat shirt, with a proper trouser button tab. The oddity: it's off-white. There's no indication that the color is the...- bradbunnin
