The style of hat is called a &#8216;newsboy&#8217;, &#8216;Gatsby&#8217; hat, or driving cap, and was popular with the trendy kids of the early 20th century.  The button-close breast pockets on the two gents on the right has a very military feel to it, and echoes the late 19th century.  The lad on the left shops at a different tailor:  sans vest, modern shirtcollar, his collar is lower, wider below the collar on the notched lapel, and is missing the breast pockets.  Maybe he&#8217;s older, and doesn&#8217;t rely on Mom to do his clothes-shopping.  Any which way, they&#8217;re a sharp looking group of guys.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/1164514753160272371-6219977660409061003?l=www.infomercantile.com\/blog\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s these guys&#8217; stories?
