1955
Men's Suit Jackets
In the world
of men’s fashion, suits in the 1950s are classic. Loose and in shape and cut
they varied in textured fabrics- wool, tweed, flannel, and corduroy as well as
patterned – big checks and plaid.
Unlike suits from the previous decades,
suit jackets from the 1950s had a noticeable waistline. Shoulders remained
slightly padded and wide. The collar was wider and short, so you could see more
of the shirt collar
underneath. The closing button was located just below the
natural waistline.
Double breasted jackets were clearly outnumbered by
single breasted styles. However, they were worn by some men and featured wide
pocket flaps and a low buttoning point, exposing a lot of the shirt front.
