Now, when will we see Plus 8's Breachers?

I always like the look of the Gentlemen (not just for playing Golf) in the afternoon, a belted tweed jacket with leather patches on the elbows, like a hunting jacket, Plus 8's, Argyle socks and two tome Spector shoes, it makes for a dressy relaxed look. (seen pictures of people like E.L. Cord, Douglas Fairbanks and Charlie Chaplin dressed like this.)

The story goes this also lead to the development of the Boston Bags (United States) or/ Oxford Bags in the U.K., that with the craze for golf among collage men, and that breachers where consider required wear on the course, and not considered acceptable in the hall's of higher education, that some men would have thee slacks made large so as to be worn over the plus 8's, finish class, simply remove the pants, and one ready for the golf course.

This lead to the adoption of the Bags or as we called them in the 1970's, Bell bottom pants, as a popular style in the 1920's.

So, as a Gentlemen of the 1920's, I do look forward to being able to order a pair of Boston Bags, and Plus 8 pants.

I want to compliment you and thank you for your excellent 8 pice / Newsboy cap.

Background, or at lest as I been told and have read, the 8 pice or Newsboy cap comes about as tailors would take the scraps of fabric from making a suit, and sew them together in to caps, sometimes they give them to the customers, some time they sell them. When it was slow in the shop, the tailors would spend there time making these from the scraps, one can do this with much smaller scraps of fabric than the traditional Yorkshire or flat country cap. The Newspaper boys like the look, and the inexpensiveness of them, and it became fashion, for Newsboys to wear them. We all remember Jackie Coogan in the 1921 film with Charlie Chaplin, The Kid, with that way too large Newsboy cap.

But it was also worn by people of fashion, So it one item of clothing that both the Working man, and the kid, as well as the finely dressed gentlemen can wear.

Effective texturing, Trasgo - I can almost feel the scratch of the wool.

I learned years ago, High Quality Wool, dose not scratch. Also, the proper care is important in maintaining soft wool (wash in cold water, air dry, use a gentle soap, one that leaves the natural oils in it. I will refrain from name brands here, but if it good to wash sheep with when it on them, then it suitable to wash the fabrics woven from it.)

Also, Natural fibers, i.e. Wool, Silk, Lenin, Cotton, unlike man made fibers, can breath, being more comfortable to ware both when it hot and when it cold.( That why I can wear a 100% Wool broad cloth blazer in the summer, and not feel too warm, or Wear a Harris wool Tweed jacket in the middle of winter, and not feel cold. Sorry, not a fan of Polyester, it locks you in like a balloon, but it dose not breath, hot in the summer, cold in the winter)

Any way, sorry for my lecture on the value of natural fibers in clothing.
