Write of your recollections about earlier times in the Hinchinbrook district.

 

It seems that there was a time when ladies surely would appreciate the concern shown by tailors who understood the 'niceties which are requisite'. The Ride Astride skirt allowed for the more active lady yet maintained their dignity. Many different 'requirements' could be catered for as they were mostly made to order, yet they were made for "hard wear".

The range of coats styles also leaves one in awe of the tailor's skill and the ladies range of requirements.
