It is often remarked that men's fashions haven't changed much over the years. Compared to women's fashions they didn't, but each decade did have it's own specialities, such as breeches or lace and embroidery on waistcoats. In looking at cycling fashions for men, I want to start with a little background at the everyday fashions for men of the 1890's. The military greatly influence men's (and women) clothing, both in style and colour (red jackets from the late 1700's and khaki in the tropics)…
