Raglan, a name that resonates with history and style. From the majestic Raglan Castle in Monmouthshire, Wales to the influential figure of Fitzroy HJ Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan, this name holds significance in various realms. Picture No. 10900609 captures the grandeur Castle, its medieval ruins standing tall against the backdrop of a vibrant spring day in May 2022. The aerial view showcases its impressive architecture and transports us back to a time filled with knights and chivalry. But it's not just castles that bear this name's legacy. In the realm of fashion, we find ourselves drawn to the timeless elegance sleeves. Dating back to as early as 1915, Marshall & Snelgrove showcased a black gown adorned with these distinctive sleeves along with turn-back cuffs and a long gored skirt – truly capturing the essence of sophistication. Fast forward to 1928 when tweed coats took center stage. A Tweed Coat from that era evokes images of British charm and countryside walks on crisp autumn days. It reminds us of an advert by British Talking Pictures Ltd at Wembley in North London where men donning Raglan coats exuded confidence and style. Speaking of jackets for sale, women were offered a selection of loose jackets in 1921 – an era known for embracing freedom and liberation through fashion choices. These jackets provided comfort without compromising on style - perfect for modern-day trailblazers. The influence doesn't end there; Lord Raglan himself left his mark on history as a distinguished British soldier during the 19th century. His contributions are remembered even today as his funeral became an event etched into memory. Finally, let's take our imaginations further back to Italian Costume circa 1380 where we catch glimpses of how fashion has evolved over centuries while still retaining elements like loose-fitting garments reminiscent of the Raglan style.
