EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of American Edwardian style with its depiction of a man proudly wearing a Surtout Greatcoat from the year 1907. The double-breasted greatcoat, with its waist seam, full skirts, long lapels, and velvet collar, was a popular choice for men during this era. The coat's classic design exudes an air of sophistication and authority, making it an ideal choice for deliverymen, mail carriers, and other working men of the time. In this image, the man wears the greatcoat with a bowler (derby) hat, adding to the overall Edwardian aesthetic. The half-boots or town boots he wears complete the look, grounding the outfit in the practicality required for daily life. The presence of letters in his hand suggests that he is making a delivery, further emphasizing the functional nature of the greatcoat. The velvet collar, a luxurious detail, adds an element of elegance to the otherwise rugged ensemble. The long lapels, which can be folded back to reveal the waist seam, provide an adjustable fit and allow the wearer to customize the look to their preference. This Surtout Greatcoat, with its timeless design and versatile appeal, remains a captivating piece of American historical fashion. The Edwardian era, marked by its opulence and refinement, is often overlooked in favor of more flamboyant eras like the Victorian or Roaring Twenties. However, this photograph serves as a reminder of the elegance and charm that defined this era, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical fashion imagery.
