    This is a nice little ensemble ca. 1900...

    Interesting. The waistcoat seems to be taller than today's modern waistcoats and it appears to have four buttons instead of the five (and sometimes six) buttons we see today.

    Thanks for posting the link, Issac.

    I do appreciate the angle of the lapels. They are short which looks very smart.

    Both the waistcoat and the jacket are high gorge. This looks like a boy's size. The three button jacket raises the gorge. I remember when all the gorges got high like this in saxon attire in the mid 90s.

    The body of the jacket seems very short in respect of the sleeves.
