Writing of the Crewe-xtosebery wedding, the “Tai or and Cutter”says : “Lord Crewe wore a frock made from fine Vienna, and the lapels were faced with bright silk, coming to the end of the holes. The collar end exactly met the end of the lapel, wmch latter extended nearly an inch beyond the collar. The step was in the true horizontal, and the outer edge of the lapel was decidedly straight. He wore a white vest and trousers of dark grey striped cashmere, to measure as nearly as we could estimate some 18 knee, and 17 bottom. His neck gear was a plain stand-up collar, and a large fancy tie, fastened with a horseshoe pin. The coat (it is gratifying to learn) was an exceedingly well cut and well made garment, fitting to perfection, and produced in the very best style. The trousers, also, were decidedly smart in fit and finish, though we think they would have been improved if they had been half an inch shorter, as there was a slight tendency to the concertina appearance just between the ankle and knees. A neat flower was worn in the lapel, and, to crown all, a fashionable silk hat completed his attire.”
