Vintage Menswear: A Collection from the Vintage Showroom

by Josh Sims, Douglass Gunn, and Roy Luckett

This book is incredible and filled with some really gorgeous pieces.  The three sections, Sports and Leisure, Military, and Workwear, and their many sub-sections, give a broad yet accurate portrayal of the different options available to men over the past hundred years, from some of the original motorcycle jackets (see the Belstaff Trailmaster above), to ivy league club coats, and turn-of-the-century hunting suits.  As beautiful as the pictures are, its the informative descriptions that really set this book apart, giving historical context for the reasons behind such modern staples as toggle-fasteners and slanted chest pockets. Not just for the coffee table, this book should be read by all who claim to have more than a cursory knowledge of menswear.

THESE DUDES

[livelymorgue]

From the Midweek Pictorial, March 21, 1931. Some helpful caption information on the back of this photo explains, in all caps, “W.E. Brown, chief taxidermists of the museum, left, and C.R. Aschemeier, assistant, are shown mounting the skin of a gorilla shot in the Belgian Congo by Ben Burbridge of Jacksonville, Fla. The gorilla was 5 feet 4 inches in height, weighed 400 pounds and had a reach of 97 inches.” Also, usefully: “Taxidermists at the National Museum in Washington are the greatest experts in their line in the U.S. In their daily work, they are forced to mount many strange animals, birds, fishes and reptiles, and delicate handling of specimens is necessary.” Photo: The New York Times
