EDITORS COMMENTS
This advertisement illustration for Arlington, a renowned naval and military tailor based in London, was published in a magazine around November 1915. The image showcases a dapper military officer in full uniform, complete with a Sam Browne belt, a monocle, and a cigarette casually hanging from the corner of his mouth. The portrait, rendered in rich colors, exudes an air of sophistication and masculinity that would have appealed to the magazine's predominantly male readership. Arlington's reputation as a premier tailor for naval and military personnel is evident in the meticulously crafted uniform, with every detail perfectly rendered. The tailor's logo, featuring a crest with a crown and the letters "A" and "T," is prominently displayed on the officer's lapel. The advertisement also includes a tagline, "Piccadilly, London," indicating the location of Arlington's shop. The illustration was published in Volume 42 of the magazine, and its vintage charm transports us back in time to an era of elegance and refinement. The use of monochrome tones adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a fascinating glimpse into the past. Whether this officer was preparing for a formal occasion or simply enjoying a moment of relaxation with a cigarette, Arlington's impeccable tailoring ensured that he looked his best at all times.
