Haberdashery Finds: Hart Schaffner & Marx Style Book
The 1921 Spring & Summer Style Book for Men, Young Men & Boys for Hart Schaffner & Marx. I'll take the grey double-breasted with boater and doctor's bag (among others)!
It's not strictly a Doctors bag although doctors used smaller versions than the one illustrated. It's called a Gladstone bag after the British prime minister of the same name. Why it's hard to say why since I've seen numerous pictures of Gladstone and in none of them does the eponymous bag appear.
