Carpu - those pictures are superb! Where did you get to see all those jackets? Do you have real access to them?
I really like the wide lapels of the Prandoni and Bellini Jackets.

It is very interesting that he wore turndown collars already in 1910 - however the shirt still has single cuffs and the breast party (marcella bib?) was probably starched. So the Prince of Wales remains to have been progressive.
Moreover, it suprises me that they had the same idea altough they probably never met due to the distance...
