EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1910, showcases Sir Alfred Turner in his elegant riding attire, embodying the Edwardian country gentleman's style. Dressed in jodhpurs and high, round collared riding boots, Turner's outfit is both practical and fashionable for the equestrian pursuits of the era. A checked waistcoat adds a touch of refinement to his ensemble, while a brown riding coat with rounded front borders and a bowler hat complete the look. The jodhpurs, a type of breeches, were popularized by British polo players in India during the late 19th century and quickly gained popularity among the riding community. The high, round collars on riding boots were designed to protect the rider's legs from the horse's knees and provide added comfort during long rides. The checked waistcoat, or vest, was a common addition to men's riding outfits during this time, offering both style and functionality. The high round collar on the coat, known as a "hip length" or "hip-length crop," was also a popular choice for Edwardian men's riding coats. The rounded front borders added a distinctive and fashionable touch to the coat. Sir Alfred Turner's hat, a bowler hat, was a staple accessory for British gentlemen during the early 20th century. The hat's hard, round crown and narrow brim offered both protection from the sun and rain and a polished, sophisticated appearance. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of men's riding fashion during the Edwardian era, showcasing the practicality, style, and elegance of Sir Alfred Turner's outfit. The combination of jodhpurs, riding boots, checked waistcoat, high round collar, bowler hat, and brown coat with rounded front borders represents the perfect blend of functionality and fashion for the Edwardian country gentleman.
