The evolution of the coat and jacket - from London's Victoria and Albert Museum
Sunday, 23 December 2012
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has an large collection of men's clothes. This selection shows how elements of our coats and jackets have evolved over many years and still are found in what we wear. It also shows how slowly basic designs have changed over the last 80 years. The Duke of Windsor's check tweed suit could have been made by Dashing Tweeds this year.

I have much respect for the Duke of Windsor's style.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. When I was there last year, hardly anything of their clothing collection was on display :(.
