Description: | Single-breasted country suit in Lovat and red checked tweed (19 oz.). The jacket is cut almost on full hacking lines, with a centre vent at the back, and the jacket is slightly skirted below the waist. The cuffs have four buttons, and the jacket has single-breasted lapels, slanting side pockets and a three-button front. This is worn with a six-button waistcoat with narrow lapels, and trousers which are cut on narrow lines, with turn-ups. Instead of the conventional side pockets, the trousers have two jodhpurs-style pockets with button fastenings. These are called frog pockets as they originated in France. The most interesting feature of this suit is the jacket lining, which has a design of horses heads and riding gear. | Subjects: | suit menswear waistcoat | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Fabric Manuf.: Porter & Harding Ltd Tailor: Henry Poole & Co.
