Haha I think that's a fair point. I guess what I meant was its nice enough to dress up or dress down. I quite like stiff collars, although they can be a killer in summer. The tall double-round I got from Darcy is more comfy than the vintage ones I have.
Dinerman, I have a very similar silk jacket. It even has the same one button cuff on an open slit. but not as cutaway at the front.
open cuff
buttons held on by a ring
what date would you put on this?
Alden 403 Moc Toe Boot - Brown Chromexcel - $680 The classic "Indy" style Alden Boot in the classic Horween brown Chromexcel. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - #395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Himel Bros. - The Ross Mk. 1 Leather Jacket Classic D-pocket motorcycle/aviator style jacket. 
Seriously? White shoes with white trousers? I can't imagine that looking very good. The first things that cross my mind are hospitals and swimming pools.
Hmmm, for me, cream suits and dirty (tan) bucks look better. Different folks.......[emoji1]
I'm not argueing the historical correctness. I'm argueing that it's not a look that I like. Historical correctness doesn't make it right or beautiful to my eyes. That last outfit would look better with tan shoes imo.white shoes with white / off white suits or trousers was a Summer staple for the first half of the 20th century. tons of historic photos out there if you want to do some research.
Otherwise I would be very interested in the first jacket/waistcoat
No, none at all...
