Why did men often stick their hand into the opening of their coat in old photos?
When I come across old, civil war era photos, a lot of times men a photographed with their right hand sticking into their coats. Not even in a pocket. Most of the time its in the opening between two buttons on their jacket. It looks like theyre trying to scratch an itch, or about to pull out a gun. What the heck is this pose?
Too look dignified. It’s something to do with your hands besides leaving them hanging. Probably a trendy pose of the time. Of course, maybe they did have an itch….
