Stumbled across the following vid the other day. At around the 2:40 mark you can see the old Anderson and Sheppard pattern for the Prince of Wales/Duke of Windsor. Note how straight the centre back seam is. Also the lack of shaping on the front. One can see how this would create the boxy chest/back, leading to the 'drape cut' (it effectively hangs off the shoulders) mentioned in the vid.

More on the Scholte cut in this vid, particularly around 3:30 mark, and later at about the 23 min mark:
