The rule as I have always known it, is right over left for ladies, left over right for gents. I don't know about other countries, but that was how we made them.

Sorry guys, we are not able to have a better quality scan at the present time. This photo was scanned at a photo shop and put on disc.  So thats it for the time being.  :(

Roli, with most coats/jackets single or double breasted is convention, no difference in the cut  but having said that - with all things there are exceptions and it does depend on the designer/tailor. Nothing more technical than that I'm afraid.  I have to admit, I only know of left over right for men.

I did tailor a ladies jacket for myself once and put the buttonholes on the wrong side, in error  ::)  only my mum noticed - then she would!

Hi Everyone,

I am intrigued by the buttons on the uniforms of the chap in the front, left hand side of the picture, he has a stripe on his arm.   Also have a look at the chap in the back row 2nd from Right. [looks Russian/Ukranian ]

The buttons on both uniforms look like self covered buttons [same material as the jacket]  whereas the others all have standard English Military issue buttons.

It was left over right, cut being made to fit convention, for us.

Oooow Jenny, bet you felt just a bit self conscious over that....

Just another thought,

The chap in the homburg is dressed in a very thirties style.  look at the stick pin in his tie and the homburg hat,
http://www.dadshats.com/homburg2.html  that would mean that this picture was taken between the wars!

Hi Jenny,

Good for you, it doesn't do for us all to be the same!  Variety is the spice of life
