EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a bastardized version of the classic Chesterfield overcoat from the early 1900s. Deviating from the traditional English design, this American adaptation boasts a fly-fronted style, complete with a velvet collar and enormous patch pockets. The snappy quality of this coat is further emphasized by the derby-style buttons and the kilted front, which adds an edgy and unique touch to the timeless piece. Originally popularized in the late 1800s, the Chesterfield overcoat was a staple in men's fashion, with its elegant and sophisticated design. However, as the new century dawned, fashion-forward men began to experiment with the classic design, resulting in this bastardized yet intriguing variation. The velvet collar not only adds a luxurious and opulent feel to the coat but also serves as a striking contrast against the rough texture of the overcoat fabric. The enormous patch pockets, a defining feature of this American adaptation, not only provide ample storage space but also contribute to the coat's distinctive appearance. This photograph, taken in 1907, captures the admiration and appreciation for this bastardized Chesterfield overcoat, as an unidentified man gazes at it with a thoughtful expression. The topiary in the background adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the scene, further highlighting the historical significance of this fashionable piece. Overall, this photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the Chesterfield overcoat and the ingenuity of fashion designers who continue to reimagine and reinvent classic designs, giving them a modern twist while preserving their historical significance.
