i think i've figured it out... the outside, which you can see in the photo is a casing which hides a normal pocket bag (secured to the top of the jetted pocket as usual) so when you drop something into the pocket it doesn't touch the casing (which i thought was the pocket bag, but is actually a purely cosmetic device to make the interior look neater*) ... dig ?

*which is incredible attention to detail

You beat me to it. I was just about to write --but with much less detail-- about that pocket bag. You got it!

What tips you off that this suit is late 20s and not early 30s ?


A fashion illustration from a Winter 1928 - '29 catalog. Look familiar?
