Here is a little article from the 1951 Spring issue of

than what people are wearing. Here is what the elite Brits
where wearing in 1951 for a chilly outdoor sporting event.

TEXTILE FASHION FLASH: WATCH FOR CAVALRY
TWILL REVIVAL! |
MURDOCKE REPORTS ON
OXFORD'S BULLINGDON RACE MEET
OXFORD'S BULLINGDON RACE MEET which in the past has set many
styles for
the college world places emphasis on(1) The Duffle Coat, both
full-length and short;(2) sheepskin-lined three -quarter coats;(3)
the solid color Crombie lined with sheepskin;(4) the British
camel coat longer than the military made in tan,beige, navy and
brown;(5) cavalry twill trousers;(6) tweed cloth caps worn flat
and full fronted. The photographs tell the story. The possibilities
of the Duffle Coat, as seen at this race meet, are enormous;
the same can be
said of the reversed sheepskin and Crombie lined with imitation
sheepskin. The extraordinary popularity of the cavalry twill
trouser is noteworthy. These may eventually oust flannels, even
though more expensive. Bullingdon may well have produced the
greatest galaxy of new ideas seen in England since the war
