Golf Ensemble

c.1908

This smart golf costume was worn by Heather Firbank (1888-1954). It consists of a masculine flat cap, a tailored jacket based upon a man's Norfolk jacket, and matching skirt. The heavy wool tweed would have resisted snags and pulls, and is further reinforced with brown leather cuffs, collar and buttons. During the late 19th century women began regularly participating in active sports other than riding, including tennis and yachting. John Redfern was one of the first couturiers to design special clothing for the new active woman. His beautifully constructed, practical tailored outfits were adopted as everyday wear by his fashionable clients, including royalty and actresses. Other couturiers and dressmakers followed this lead, creating tailored coat and skirt ensembles which could be worn both on and off the sports field.

Heather Firbank was a beautiful, fashionable young woman who bought expensive high-style clothing from leading London couturiers, including Redfern. She bought this outfit from Frederick Bosworth, a ladies' tailor and Court dressmaker who worked from New Burlington Street. Prior to founding his own business in 1902, Frederick Bosworth Mims had been manager of the London branch of Redfern Ltd.

What if it turned out that us having on average 2.5% Neanderthal DNA (I think that's the right number) was all because of one guy

[jewishpangolin]

"Average Neanderthal fucks 3 Anatomically Modern Humans in lifetime" factoid actually statistical error. Average Neanderthal fucks zero humans. Humans Georg, who lives in cave and fucks 10,000 Anatomically Modern Humans each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
