Schoeffler, O.E.; Gale, William
Esquire's Encyclopedia of 20th Century Men's Fashions
PLEASE NOTE: This is a heavily-worn former library copy with the usual markings. Dust jacket not included. Binding very tender - could let go at any moment, thus we offer this book AS IS. Now the good news: x, 709 pages. Index. Glossary. Profusely illustrated in black and white and color. "The subject, though approached from the viewpoint of forty years of Esquire Magazine fashion coverage, represents far more than that in its totality. The result, obviously, is to tell you more than you could conceivably care to find out, at least at one sitting, about any one of the many aspects of twentieth-century fashions for men." - Arnold Gingrich. This books is "also a social history, for the clothes men wear tell us not only a lot about the men who wear them but a lot too about the climate of the time in which they live: the social, economic and political conditions that influence the way a man dresses. This, then, is a lavishly illustrated encyclopedia that, in seminarrative style, covers in detail every item of apparel worn by the American man of this century while exploring the society of which his clothes are a reflection. Also considers luggage and leather goods, the styling and care of the hair, and toiletries. Each category of apparel is covered chronologically, decade by decade. Also takes readers behind the scenes, to the mills where the fabrics are made and to the plants where the clothes made from these fabrics are manufactured. Every step of every process is described in detail. Since this book deals with eight decades of fashion, it offers the reader a uniquely panoramic view of men's fashions in the twentieth century" - Introduction. Despite its major deficiencies, a worthy reference copy of this treasured fashion reference. Book
