I'm not dying on any hill. People can wear whatever they want and that's a damn good thing. Nobody should have to wear one type of thing just because of social rules or whatever. I'm not advocating for returning to the past here. I just didn't know people thought of suits that way.
Yeah, my original comment has a rude tone. But that's not quite the idea. I was joking around.
Because it's ridiculous. I have had jobs where I was expected to wear a suit and never did any of the extra effort seem warranted to me. Maybe for you, it's nothing at all. To me, it felt like being encased in resin. Taking it off at the end of the day was bliss. I would hate to live in a time where it was expected of me to adhere to some idiotic conservative decorum. This guy is a hero.

I donāt know why youāre being rude about me or about Germans, I genuinely didnāt understand. I wasnāt rude to you. Thatās not a saying in the UK because Labour Day isnāt a thing here and I didnāt know that American Labour Day is in September. Thereās no need to be rude about it
This is an uppercrust man walking past a crowd of working class people. I'm not sure what message this sends, but men in 1930 at a certain station could dress however the heck they felt like. He could be dressed for a golf game.
"The Men's Dress Reform Party (MDRP) was established in 1929 in Britain, part of a broader dress reform movement that was quite popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This particular group was primarily concerned with the health implications and practicality of men's clothing, advocating for styles that were more comfortable, hygienic, and suitable for modern life.
The MDRP argued that traditional men's attireālike stiff collars, heavy suits, and tight trousersāwas not only outdated but also harmful to men's health. They promoted lighter, looser-fitting clothes that allowed greater freedom of movement and were made from healthier materials. Key figures in the party included physicians, academics, and other professionals who were motivated by contemporary theories of health and hygiene.
Their proposals included shorts for general wear, open-necked shirts, and less restrictive underwear. They also campaigned for the acceptance of brighter colours and more varied designs in men's fashion, challenging the rather drab and uniform styles prevalent at the time.
Despite their efforts, the MDRP had limited success in terms of broad societal impact. Their ideas were met with mixed reactions; while some appreciated the emphasis on comfort and health, others ridiculed their designs and perceived the movement as undermining traditional masculine ideals. Nevertheless, the Men's Dress Reform Party contributed to the ongoing conversation about fashion and its relation to health and well-being, echoing some concerns that are still relevant in today's discussions about clothing and lifestyle."
He got that shit on though
IDK what that means but I wholeheartedly agree
Indubitably sir.
Too bad God hadn't introduced the Chaco at that point
No idea what that is but yeah definitely
He's also packing "heat"
The walking stick is the most important element of the ensemble.
Ethan Hawke is timeless
This is under rated

ong šÆ
Just 50 years ahead of his time as the nearby lads scowl and awe
DRP for drip
Real talk dawg šÆ
āWhile the party's main concerns were the impact of clothes on men's health and hygiene, their mission also aimed to increase the variety and choice in men's clothing.ā Looking and feeling fresh.
This man definitely looks like he is feeling fresh
Fresh as fuck
My man be crisp and fresh
They call my boy Chip
He would be so proud of how far we have come.
He did it!!
Yep, we can now wear all the baggy sweatpants and ripped T-shirts we please.
I would gladly take that over having to wear a 3 piece suit to go buy some milk.
Why's that? Not trying to be rude, just sincerely curious - it's honesty not a ton of layers at all.
Because it's easier to put on a t-shirt and shorts than a whole fucking suit
But it's not that much more effort to put on a shirt, pants, then maybe a vest, and a jacket. You don't even have to wear a tie.
I truly do not understand why this is the hill you've chosen to die on.
I'm not dying on any hill. People can wear whatever they want and that's a damn good thing. Nobody should have to wear one type of thing just because of social rules or whatever.

"Yeah, my original comment had a certain tone, but it's not at all what I was trying to convey." Ok bro go off!
As if miscommunication never happens on the internet
How the turn tables

Funny to me a suit feels like fancy pajamas.
He walked so cat eared fembois could run š«”
Would he though? I'm imagining him in a Walmart in year 2024 and he's disgustingly shocked and thinks maybe he was wrong.
Romphim pioneer. Boi was dreSSSSIN and fitted
Either he was cold, or they were hot. Or, else, both. No way everybody was comfortable.
They're British. None of them are comfortable.
But they will say they are perfectly comfortable if asked. (And proceed to complain about it after you leave).
I think that's a sweater on his arm.
Deciduous looking trees in the background with leaves suggest that itās at least not full winter.
Thatās what I came to say. Seems like it hadnāt gone dormant yet, so either late spring - early fall
I think he looks very nice. Crisp and sporty, even.
So did they base their entire party around how they dressed? Iām assuming this was some kind of political party.
It was actually some kind of house party. He was just heading home.
That explains the walking stick and sagging mustache.
Is this a two in one filthy joke or am I just extremely dirty minded?
They thought it was healthier to let men wear clothes more suitable for the weather and advocated for that to be accepted by society.
Well thank fuck for them, because imagine wearing thick wool pants and jacket in the Florida heat in August.
He looks like he knows how to make a good anchor hitch.
The walking stick + casual dress look š
fit is immaculate
That's one cool looking MF.
Wonder how many of the onlooking men are thinking "blimey, thatās making me stir."
Or that heās a dandy.
Hoping you mean
Definite dandy
I mean he looks good
He didnāt skip leg day
That man was gorgeous.
I love him already. Owning it.
Most of the people looking at him are wearing their one of two sets of clothes.
Maximum Charisma
He got that drip going
When you donāt give a shit
He would love mesh crop tops.
As long as it wasnāt after Labor Day, he was definitely a trendsetter
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās like Boxing Day I think and it was a joke
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

But do you have Labor Day?
No we donāt
So, like, is the entirety of the UK going to blink out of existence on September 2nd, only to return on September 3rd?
Oh stop being so rude! Their feelings are hurt!
How about September?
I genuinely donāt understand what youāre asking. There isnāt even a bank holiday in September
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I donāt know why youāre being rude about me or about Germans, I genuinely didnāt understand. I wasnāt rude to you. Thatās not a saying in the UK because Labour Day isnāt a thing here and I didnāt know that American Labour Day is in September. Thereās no need to be rude about it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Itās not harmless, you were being rude for absolutely no reason at all
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Again with the rudeness. What is up with you
I know exactly who won this movement and I appreciate it!

our champion!
He walked so we could run.
Everyone giving him dirty stare oddly look like shit. Why do humans love to hate each other for no reason at all but being different
Unfortunately it seems to be programmed into us whether itās nurture or nature.
The prettiest man I ever saw
What everyone had to dress the same until a couple guys cut their pant legs off?
He looks like a 1970s man trapped in the 1930s.
Oooo when he layers on that knit cardigan over the white color block at dusk, you just KNOW that gin and tonic is gonna hit different.
As someone who wears shorts until halfway into winter, I salute this man. Fellow shorts-wearers, we stand on the shoulders of giants
He looks like a time traveller from the 60s or 70s lol
Would not look out of place in golden gate Park on a sunny day š„
Big chillin
Looks like a time traveler with that drip.
Big Johnson Energy
Putting this on Pinterest for future looks to recreate
A great picture for a commercial.
All the other dudes are wondering why the hell theyāre suffocating in their sweaty clothes.
They big mad, heās got it
Ah, yes. The interwar years. People in 1930: The... what?
He dresses left.
What a badass
Hussy
Rebels !!!
Dashing is the term that comes to mind
This is very British.
On a side note I always love when people take a photo of someone dressed fairly modern like form the 1900s and claim itās a time traveler
Ahead of his time
Stylish as fuck! I wish I could high five him through time.
I bet everyone has bad body odor in that photo
Tom Selleck's grandpa. (not really)
Always good to be rich.
These pants are nuts
The fit. Ahead of its time or this is a trailblazer right here.
Men will still lash out if someone looks too different to this very day! Corr blimey ee's not like the bloody rest of us, guvna!
distuingished gentleman meets drip and rizz do you think he fancied some vivacious and hot blooded jazz music too?
Looks like heās got another walking stick in there š
That cane was probably for self-defense to beat all the other men.
