EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the Edwardian era of 1908. The image features the esteemed Lord Savile, elegantly dressed for a day of country pursuits. His outfit is a fine example of the fashionable attire worn during this period for hunting and shooting. Lord Savile's ensemble consists of a windowpane check knickerbocker suit, which was a popular choice for country sports due to its durability and stylish design. The check pattern adds a distinctive texture to the suit, making it both practical and fashionable. He pairs the suit with Argyll socks, which were worn with knee-length gaiters or spats to protect his legs from the elements. The collar of his shirt is adorned with an all-round collar, which was a common feature of Edwardian men's dress shirts. His cravat, worn neatly around his neck, adds a touch of refinement to his look. A checked waistcoat completes the upper half of his outfit, providing both insulation and a visually appealing contrast to the windowpane check suit. Lord Savile tops off his ensemble with a rather Austrian-looking felt hat, which was a popular choice for country pursuits during this time. The hat not only protected him from the sun and rain but also added a distinctive flair to his appearance. In his hand, he holds a shotgun, ready for the hunt. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of Edwardian men's fashion during a time when country pursuits were a cherished pastime.
