These baggy trousers were up to 40 inches wide at the cuff and pleated at the waist for an even fuller appearance. They roared into fashion in the mid 20’s and stayed till the 40’s when trousers returned to the conservative width. The 40 inch baggy pant was rare but overall trousers were wider in the 20’s for all who adopted the Ivy league style.
Non college kids and middle class American’s in particular loved the looser, softer Ivy league style. The 3 pieces suits came with a single breasted vest without pockets, exposed by the high buttons on the jacket. Button down shirts with dark ties (or no tie) and 8 panel flats caps complete this twenties suit.
