Suit

Designer Newton British

Not on view

The well-padded upper chest has generally been a sign of masculine power, although there have been periods when a less muscular silhouette has prevailed. When a full chest was preferred, wool felt or cotton padding-sometimes an inch thick, as here-was inserted between a man's jacket and its lining.
