    I've noticed when looking at photos and films of the 1920's that many men were not wearing the standard fedora, but more like a homburg. Where the hats actually homburgs,snap brims or am I just missing something.

    I have noticed in period films(victorian and the like) that some men's suits have a slightly lighter trouser than the jacket. Has this been a common fashion on and off in time or was this frowned upon? I kind of like the look and was considering putting toghether some suits like this.
