The greenish coat with its pleated back and heavily flared skirt looks almost like a direct descendant of the WWI Greatcoats.
the amount of olive, olive drab and khaki in early 20s catalogues is surprising given that it wasn't long after WW1.
you'd expect the manufacturers would want to move on from anything military inspired, but there's loads of it.
Oh, it wasn't the color I was thinking of, although that of course emphasizes the resemblance.
sorry, yes i got that, but just went off on a ramble about the amount of military-influenced stuff in general that was about then.
TT, that's certainly possible. are you citing a British or U.S. anecdote ?
though you would think that, after a war, the public would be ready for non-military influenced style. 'new hope' and 'time for a change' all of that usual stuff.
