more clogs

Speaking of clogs (or pattens, if you prefer,) here’s another good example, with an interesting cross-piece under the instep. And some nice demy pantouffles on the gent on the left.

more on that red ribbon

 

 

Thanks to Harry in the costume shop at Yale, we have some more of those red lapel ribbons! Ingres was our source, and we believe they are Legion of Honor medals, and at least on some of them, the ribbon is pulled through the button-hole on the coat.

Extra bonus – Yves Saint Laurent must have looked at the same research for one of the jackets in his “Le Smoking” collection sometime in the 1980’s!
