Bouquets for your lapels
Bouquets and tuffs
A small bouquet of flowers, a bouquet, a floral arrangement for the lapel - called "Tuff" in the men's breviary from 1913: "In the afternoon with tea, a Tuff violet looks very distinctive in the cut away - five to six stems."

Some time ago, we came across a small cloth-bound book from the year 1913: "The Gentleman - a Gentleman's Breviary
