Nice suit, although the hat leaves me cold...
Like the pale grey suit
A more sporting look
I find this an interesting series of ensembles, even though they don't do much for me, particularly the dinghy/beach suits, the terry robe cut rather after the lines of a polo coat(?) and the green shirt.
I very much like the grey suit with the welted pockets - I'm slightly surprised that the caption doesn't draw attention to the fact that it is a 3 roll 2. I'm also surprised by how slim the lapel appears. Carnation is a nice touch!
I would look at this one more as social history than a useful source of sartorial tips, although I would happily wear the maroon blazer (and the white flannels, of course - just not with a tweed jacket!) Location is Newport Casino, by the way.
Again liking the light coloured suit - interesting that they draw attention to the fact that it has a plain back, which I would have rather taken for granted.
And some advertisements which particularly caught my eye:
Interesting that about only three of the shirts are unimstakably double-cuffed. I would have expected a rather higher proportion.
Fine plates plus interesting articles on rum, cigars, bear shooting and an article on "the facts of life" which, although anonymous, has a strong Havelock Ellis feel to it. Some marks on covers, slight rusting to staples. A number of pages missing (8-18, 23-26, 33-34, 63-64 ("Always a Jukes" by Lynn Montross) , 95-96, 125-6, 138-9, 163-4 - principally advertisements, plus the pin-up I think) and some more detaching, but good overall for such an ephemeral article.
