Figure 1.--Here we see a German boy wearing an early Norfolk suit. Note that the stripe on the pants matches the waist strap on the jacket. The boy looks to be wearing cowboy boots. This picture was taken in Osnabrück. It was probably taken around 1880. Image courtesy of the BP collection. |
We note Norfolk suits with different types of pants. This appears to be primarily a reflection of the popular types of pants at the time and not the styling of the suit. Here there were some exceptions in the 19th century. We note some Norfolk suits with styling on the pants that matched styling on the jacket. As far as we can tell, however, this was not very common.
