Poor people also dressed in what were, to our eyes, surprisingly formal
clothes. For example look at photos of depression-era soup lines,
they're full of men in bowler hats, neckties, waistcoats and suit
jackets. Might have been the only clothes they had.


I wonder of some of that was "dress for the job you want, not for the
job you have."

"Casual" clothing at disposable prices is a very modern development.

(Of course, England didn't suffer many "Heat Index Warning" days like
we're having today.)


But Englishmen dressed almost the same when they went to India or
Africa. Maybe a little more on the linen side vs wool.


Yep. Fashion is weird and powerful.
