Suit 1894

"Suit" (1894) by J.B. Johnstone is a striking example of a men's suit from the late 19th century. The suit is crafted from a brown and white checked fabric, a pattern popular at the time. The jacket features a cut-away tail, a common style in formal men's wear of this period. The suit is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This piece offers a fascinating glimpse into the tailoring and fashion trends of the late 19th century.
