The Prince of Wales wears checks & pullover for golf, 1930
Article featured in the magazine, Man and his Clothes commenting with interest on the ensemble worn by Edward, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor) to play golf. His plus four suit was in a crotal red and black check for matches he played at Le Touquet, his pullover was tucked in (a style many people had condemned as cheap apparently) and his stockings were in light fawn with over checking. His partner is Colonel Myddleton who was wearing an interesting proof golf jacket with two vertical pockets just beneath the lapels, for his pipe, tobacco pouch and other odds and ends. Date: 1930

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1930, the Prince of Wales, later known as King Edward VIII and the Duke of Windsor, is seen in a stylish ensemble as he plays golf at Le Touquet. The Prince's outfit, which drew significant attention at the time, consisted of a crotal red and black check plus four suit. This bold and flamboyant choice of clothing was particularly noteworthy for its checked pattern, which added a touch of elegance and panache to the traditional golfing attire. The Prince's pullover, tucked in, was also a point of contention among fashion enthusiasts. While some admired the modern and sporty look, others criticized it as cheap or unsophisticated. Regardless of opinion, the Prince's confidence in his style was evident as he focused intently on the game. Joining the Prince on the golf course was Colonel Myddleton, who wore an intriguing proof golf jacket. The jacket featured two vertical pockets just beneath the lapels, providing a practical solution for carrying essentials such as a pipe, tobacco pouch, and other odds and ends. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends and sporting lifestyle of the 1930s, showcasing the Prince of Wales' penchant for stylish and daring ensembles both on and off the golf course. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of royalty and the evolving nature of fashion throughout history.
