identical, properly aligned alforzas.

with a matching shirt button, as are the

bottoms of the alforzas pleats

• Vertical rows of adjusting buttons are often

seen, one on each side, at the bottom hem

While most versions of the design have no

placket covering the buttons, a few newer

designs do.

POET SHIRT

Although descended from the shirts worn by men in the 17th and 18th centuries, the modern poet blouse combines two

aspects: the fineness of ruffled shirts worn as an undergarment

by aristocrats and the informality of plain shirts worn (normally open-necked) as a standalone garment by

workmen

• A tailored version of the poet

shirt became highly fashionable

for young men during the

1960s, particularly in London

BOMBER J ACKET

The bomber jacket (also

known as MA-2 flight jacket or CWU-45 flig ht jac ke t) is a

version of the MA-1 bomber

jacket that was originally

designed for the U.S military during the 1950s Prior to the invention of jet aircraft, fleece- lined leather jackets were

issued to flight personnel

However, the new jets could fly

at much higher altitudes and in much colder temperatures than propeller aircraft

BOMBER J ACKET

If the heavy, bulky leather jackets became wet from rain (when the pilot walked to his aircraft) or from perspiration, the water

would freeze at high altitudes, making the jackets cold and uncomfortable Also, the new jets were more streamlined in design Cockpits were cramped and filled with

new equipment Speedy, unimpeded

access to and exit from cockpits became even more critical for safety Rather than bulky leather, a sleek, lightweight yet

warm jacket was needed for the new jet technology.
