Sweet words regarding the very smart lounge jacket, shirt and cravats that could be found in the New York shops of of 1916:
“Time was, if you wore a double-breasted mufti jacket, you felt almost as lonely as a coral island in the South Seas. Quite three years ago this type of garment, never out-moded, came to be readopted by the generality of us, and now one sees it on smartly turned-out men everywhere.”
“The double-breasted affair portrayed in the accompanying sketch, is only one of the modish jackets of the season. The collar is wide and low-notched; the lapels are unflattened, broadish and peaked; the pockets slant; the waist is curved over the arch of the hips; the cuffs are plain and the bottom corners are rounded off”.
“Such a jacket is very becoming to the spare, tallish, upstanding figure…”
