This is the first edited collection of its kind to analyse the
distinct but overlapping topics of dress, costume, sport and
leisure history. For researchers of bodily adornment and movement,
sport and costume history are both primarily concerned with
industrial practice and embodied experience. The ways in which
bodies are adorned, embellished and clothed (or revealed)
highlights the hybrid nature of dress history, encompassing as it
does the everyday clothing solutions of the mass of people and the
unusual or more ceremonial aspects of costume, as well as elite
high fashion. Although this is as yet an under-researched area,
there are an increasing number of fashion and clothing
undergraduate and postgraduate courses that specialise in sport and
leisurewear. This publication is intended to give an introductory
overview of the historical and contemporary issues as it does for
the growing number of sport marketing and sports studies courses
concerned with dress, costume history and branding. This book was
published as a special issue of Sport in History.
