What kind of tuxedos did men wear in the 1930s?

In the early years, there were two distinct styles of evening tailcoats as summarized in a 1932 Men’s Wear report. The British style featured a high waistline and broad shoulders with lots of drape (extra fullness on the chest and over the shoulder blades).

What was the value of a tuxedo in 1935?

In 1935 a New York Herald Tribune society writer calculated that a “well-attired” New York gentleman’s evening kit could be worth as much as $4,975 once his jewelry and fur coat were accounted for, the equivalent of a staggering $90,000 today.

What was the difference between American and British tuxedos?

In contrast, the American coat had a slightly lower waist, natural shoulders, and no drape . The British look gradually dominated due in no small part to its patronage by the Prince of Wales whose tailor also liked to employ short stubby lapels to further create a vertically elongating effect.
