Wow I didn’t realize that they actually shaved their legs. So the knickerbocker thing and the Founding Fathers were shaving their legs? That’s almost depressing. The wig thing was bad enough. I hope wigs don’t come back too.

The idea of the black and white evening dress for men came from a gentleman called Beau Brummell. He also introduced the idea that a gentleman should not drown himself in scent and should change his underwear daily.

I always thought that he should get some sort of honor for the last.
