1930s

Baxter

Here we have our newest men’s silhouette. Baxter has a French pedigree as this design was extracted from a Bayard catalogue circa 1935. Baxter is an avant-garde silhouette that would have been worn by men who flaunted convention. While today this ensemble seems rather conservative, etiquette from the period would have dictated that men’s fashion never push the boundaries of correct attire. Baxter’s exaggerated silhouette would have been rather shocking in its time.

The vest is single breasted with contrasting shawl collar and sports 4 functioning single welt pockets and 6 buttons. Both the vest and trousers are stitched in tan, teal and brown linen-rayon plaid.

Baxter features Plus Eight knickerbockers that are fuller in the leg than the Nigel and are set 8 inches below the knee. They have cutaway pockets and 1 1/2” waistband. The knee bands are set above the calf and are held by two buttons.

Trousers and vest are dry clean only.
Shirt may dry cleaned or machine washed in cold water.
