otograph from 1928.
This gentleman wears a heavy wool cap and a double breasted, short winter overcoat with patch pockets and flaps – even on the breast pocket. The collar is equipped with a piece of fur that matches the width of the lapels. All edges features decorative, heavy machine stitching and the knickerbocker trousers go well with the coat.
Overall, men were dressed much more stylishly during this era, though the garments were also much heavier. Interestingly, a number of modern companies continue to offer wool undergarments because it is such a great fiber – it insulates well and absorbs more moisture than nylon or polyester.
