Object history | Historical significance: Not the typical British country style outfit but clearly inspired by traditional Austrian / German country style clothes. Mix of ethnic influences and loose unfit shapes typical of the early 1980s. The trousers are interesting as they are cut on the model of 1790s boy's front flapped breeches. |
