>before the widespread use of air conditioning?
You mean before the advent of central heating?
I dont know where you live. Maybe socal where its always warm. But where i live, room temperature in the spring & fall is cool without heating, and frigid in the winter. And outside there's almost always a moderate wind. Back in the day you wouldnt want to waste a bunch of fuel heating your house when you could just wear warmer clothes.

Another thing to consider is... Thinner people retain less body heat, and America was an unimaginably skinnier place in the 50s. You ever notice how many fat people wear shorts constantly?.

It helps if your jacket has minimal lining. Low tier lightweight jackets typically have a lining (often synthetic) all over the body, which nearly defeats the whole point. You want one that's butterfly lined or completely unlined/unstructured.
