“I am wearing an embroidered top from Brooklyn Brickhouse Vintage, jorts and a pair of Bostonian loafers from Urban Jungle, and a trench coat from Stella Dallas. My style is sort of vintage preppy, inspired a lot by take ivy, Ralph Lauren and the 70s.”

Is an Alligator Raincoat anything like a Cleveland Steamer?
Do yourself a favor and don’t even try to imagine it.

tbh, as much fun as I'm having with making victorian skirts etc, I do really think that next year I'm going to focus much more on making menswear. it's more practical for me, it suits me better, and I just feel better in it.

The boy who smokes at school is bound to come to a bad end. He will degenerate gradually into a person who plays dominoes in the smoking-rooms of A.B.C. shops with friends who wear bowler hats and frock coats.
This is from The Gold Bat one of the boys’ school stories by P. G. Wodehouse from 1904 and seems to come from the mind of one of the boys who dislikes smoking as it undermines health and thus athletic ability and he is very keen on winning at sports. Wodehouse also adds that smoking surreptitiously at school means the “romance of a pipe vanishes.”
I find it intriguing because the passage makes clear that smoking was identified with bad choices in clothing, but why were they bad? were bowler hats and frock coats old-fashioned? or tacky? I am not sure exactly what Wodehouse had in mind. The A.B.C. shops were tea rooms run by the Aerated Bread Company which began as a bakery. By the 1920s, hundreds of such shops dotted England.
