These are three-piece suits, the very image of the classic suit, consisting of a jacket, waistcoat, and trousers made of the same cloth. Although both suits are from the 1900s, subtle differences are recognizable. The right is a British-style suit with a tapered waist. The care taken with the suit can be seen in the functional buttonholes at the sleeves and the curve of the hem. The left is an American-style suit without waist suppression, giving it a boxy silhouette. Rogers, Peet & Company was a men’s clothing firm established in 1874 that had twelve stores in New York at its heyday. The brand was praised as one of the things that are “respectable, conservative, and clean” in the song Marry the Man Today from the musical Guys And Dolls, which held its first public performance in 1950.
