That guy in the waist-length vest and tan coat with the top hat — I love that look!

Yeah, pretty sharp! According to a book I read recently, working-class and especially lower-class men often wore secondhand clothing, so it was unusual for their things to fit them well.

The author was an English historian and reenactor who, among other “research,” lived for a year on a Victorian living-history farm. I love my indoor plumbing!
