Duke of Windsor - King of Classic Menswear

Focus on Duke of Windsor

As is widely known in narrow circles, Prince Edward, the Duke of Windsor and one-time King Edward VIII, is the progenitor, and was the foremost practitioner, of the apparel art of classic menswear and his influence still persists unabated in some traditionalist circles and even much wider.

He also introduced many innovations in this area that are now the accepted norm and canon.

Here are some photos that I like (with one or two exceptions)

This is of course very unfortunate.

Duke of Windsor never used a dimple in his tie knot!

Here the Duke does use a dimple but a much younger age; he eschewed the dimple in his more mature years.
