Scotlands’s Lounge Suits
#ThrowbackThursdays
The lounge suit was originally developed in the 1850s to the 1860s in Scotland. It was crafted of heavier fabric and was intended to be a garment for casual outdoor events. The matching aspect of trousers and pants, in particular, gave it a less formal look, because morning coats and frock coats were worn with rather contrasting trousers. Another differentiating factor was apparently the length of the coat. It was a much shorter coat, had no tails and was cut more sack-like without distinct front dart.
