COUNTRYWEAR for Men and Women

The nylon stockings are very popular for countrywear, golf, and race-meetings.

Three-piece lounge suits, made in tweed checks and plaids, and the knickerbocker suits which were popular for countrywear, were worn with turned-down collars and broad ties. Double-breasted caped ‘Inverness’ overcoats and short fly-fronted coats in dark wool cloth were popular. The three-piece lounge suit buttoned high with small revers was worn for all but formal occasions with a tall bowler hat (Derby), although a cap or ‘deerstalker’ were customary for countrywear.

Most of the iconic women’s looks that Savile Row had in its armoury historically were established from ridingwear and countrywear, so I worked on adapting those styles and came up with my own way of cutting for women.
