Vintage clothing is a part of our style history, is an acceptable
way to individualize the way we dress, and is an increasingly
popular way to "go green." This reference book is an easy-to-use
compilation of information for dating menswear garments using label
information, textiles, styles, and other available information. It
is ideal for new converts to vintage and seasoned collectors of
men's and women's garments. This liberally illustrated guide,
featuring labels, images from catalogs and magazines, and actual
garments, is equally helpful for fashion designers, costume
designers, and curators. It covers the U.S. Government regulations
for manufactured clothing, garment Union information, and menswear
clothing by categories and decade. In addition, this unique book
presents exclusive data on ACWA Union labels and a never before
seen list of denim manufacturers. Anyone with an interest in
collecting, dating, and caring for vintage clothing will find this
book an indispensable reference.
Whether you want to wear, research, or just look at extraordinary
vintage women's hats, this book was put together with you in mind!
Women have always worn hats, and this collection showcases the most
popular, in vogue styles of the lady's chapeau. The author
illustrates the hats with hundreds of images from vintage catalog
offerings that span over seven decades. Through them the reader can
enjoy looking at beautiful headwear, see the evolution of women's
taste and style, learn about the trends of the time, and see what
was easily available for purchase by the fashionable lady.
Everything showcased in this collection was available through mail
order and was delivered to the customer's door exactly as
advertised! Can you spot the Egyptian influence and the masculine
profiles? Should a hat be worn at a rakish tilt, far back on the
head, or low over the eyes? You can be the judge when you see the
chic styles and how they were worn with panache at a given time in
hat history.
