EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Edwardian era with this image of a crowd of elegant men, dressed in formal attire, gathered in 1904. The year was marked by a distinct fashion trend, as seen in this photograph, with men donning tailcoats and top hats. The tailcoats, also known as dinner jackets or evening coats, were a staple of formal wear during this period. They were typically made of black or midnight-blue wool and featured a single or double-breasted front, with a shawl lapel and a long, straight skirt that fell just above the ankles. The waistcoats, worn underneath, added an extra layer of sophistication with their intricate patterns and rich colors. The top hats, or crivats, were another essential component of the Edwardian gentleman's outfit. These tall, cylindrical hats were adorned with a ribbon and a decorative band, and they were often held in place with a hat pin or a hat band. The bowler hats, a more casual alternative, were also popular among the working classes and those who preferred a less formal look. This photograph, taken by the renowned Illustrated London News Ltd., captures the essence of Edwardian fashion and the refined elegance of the era's gentlemen. The men in the image exude an air of confidence and distinction, making this print a must-have for any history buff, fashion enthusiast, or collector of vintage photographs.
