The sack must really have gone into hiding after 1930. You don't see the word used anymore, and almost all jackets are darted and hourglassed. Being a well-upholstered fat cat wasn't something a man wanted to flaunt!
The "Full Box Effect" might have worked in 1903 with a high bowler hat, but in 1928, ouch!
About the Ulster coats, here's a definition of the style: 6x3 DB front, stout protective collar, thick welt, patch-flap pockets (No. 726 has only the flap), cuffed sleeves, and tweed or similar heavy goods. Puristically, real Donegal tweed (I'm sure these weren't).

No desire, no ambition leads me.
Maybe it's because nobody needs me.
THANK YOU for posting this. Wonderful stuff.

Fantastic as usual rlk! Thanks for sharing. I was surprised too by all the 'sack' cuts... Things changed quite a bit in two years into the heavily fitted and definitive hourglass shapes through the 40's.
I have to echo this point. I was actually surprised by the notch lapel in panel 10. I honestly didn't expect to see that.Originally Posted by Derek WC
Gee-whiz, looks like the notch lapel tuxedo isn't a modern abomination.
