Mystery Jacket

[Highland Logan]

Yes indeed the Prince Charlie went from being a novel jacket thought of as being mostly suitable to fashionable young men in the 1920s to becoming near-universal by the 1960s.

I would imagine that all the fashionable young men in the 1920s, following the marketing of the day, became the older gentlemen in PCs that the next generation followed as examples leading us to where we are today. As the wearing of the dress became less and less common, it became too easy to turn it into a "uniform", and for the hire shops to carry less of a variety of jackets.

I may just be stating the obvious, but its not been implicitly said as of yet.
