Thank you so much carpu65. Some excellent pictures there.

Again, some splendid patterned hosiery. How difficult it is to find such items in the shops.

The Fourth Set

3. In the third and fourth pics, what’s the fabric of the four overcoats? Also, the man on the left in the fourth pic has an unusual cuff. Does anyone know the name of that type of cuff?
Thank you carpu for taking the time to scan and upload the images. Quite a feast for the eyes. I believe the coat is a covert coat which is traditionally finished with railroading (4 decorative seams) on the cuffs and the hem.

carpu65: What a treat - thank you! I have often thought that I was born in the wrong era and now I know.
