How did pre-Lycra suits fit
Before Lycra suits became popular, how did the suits fit, especially the ones that had some stretch. (And let's got to the era after the wool suits).
It seems that some makers had suits with some stretch -- perhaps like some polyester knit, or maybe they had some rubber in them (just like how some items like ankle or knee supporters have rubber woven into the cloth).
So people were looking for a tight fit, but without a modern fabric made with Lycra, they were probably bulky?
