EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting advertisement for Peter Robinson's school outfits from 1915. The image showcases a smartly dressed young boy, ready for the new academic year. He wears a Talma overcoat made from pure Shetland wool, featuring a fawn and grey color palette with distinct patch pockets and a collar that perfectly complements the boy's crisp white shirt and tie. The boy's outfit is completed with a trilby hat in a matching fawn color, adding a touch of sophistication to his appearance. The Talma overcoat, known for its durability and warmth, was a popular choice for schoolboys during this era. The boy carries a cane or stick, adding an air of authority and confidence to his demeanor. This advertisement is a captivating glimpse into the fashion and costume trends of the early 20th century. The use of natural materials like Shetland wool and the classic design of the Talma overcoat reflect the practicality and elegance of the time. The boy's attire is a testament to the importance of dressing appropriately for the occasion and the significance of making a good first impression. The advertisement, published by Illustrated London News Ltd, offers a fascinating insight into the fashion and lifestyle of the past. The attention to detail in the illustration, from the creases in the boy's trousers to the texture of the wool in the Talma overcoat, adds to the authenticity of the image and transports us back in time.
