1920's tennis attire question

[Orgetorix]

Here are some photos depicting old tennis attire:

Tennis clothes were traditionally white. White flannel trousers, white cotton shirt, perhaps a white tennis sweater. René Lacoste (second from right in the top picture) pioneered the white cotton pique shirt that we have come to call a "polo" shirt. He had a crocodile embroidered on the breast in a nod to his French nickname, "Le Crocodile." Which means, roughly, the crocodile.

I don't know what your costuming budget is like, but you might check out this site: http://www.grasscourt.com/Store/

Co-incidentally, thanks to a spell of what we call in the UK 'Indian Summer' I'm dressed exactly like that at work today. Ok, I don't have the rackets...

Orgetorix, I had no idea you were such a linguist!

It's the fruit of years of toil and study, my good man.
