EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the roaring 1910s and witness the distinctive style and charisma of American men in this photograph. Dressed to impress, these gentlemen don the latest fashion trends that defined the era's nouveau riche and business elite. In the foreground, a confident man in a S-B two-piece suit holds the lapels of his coat, a common pose adopted by men to accentuate their power and wealth. However, it's important to note that this gesture did not prolong the life of the suit. The man wears a fly-fronted overcoat, a popular alternative to the traditional rear-laced design. The overcoat is adorned with a wing collar, a high, rigid collar that was a hallmark of formal attire during this period. The cravat, a decorative neckwear, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the outfit. Completing the look are spats, protective covers worn over the shoes to keep them clean and dry. The man in the background dons a bowler hat, a versatile and practical hat that was a staple in every man's wardrobe. Another gentleman in the background wears a trilby, a more casual and less formal alternative to the bowler hat. These American men exude an air of confidence and success, embodying the spirit of the era's corrupt bosses, swindlers, and business tycoons. This photograph is a testament to the fashion trends and cultural nuances of the 1910s, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past.
