Esquire’s Encyclopedia of 20th Century Men’s Fashions

Description

Found this book in a library and scanned every page by hand. This is one of the best references in classical menswear that you can find. Please make copies on your own machine and share this knowledge with others. It shouldn't be locked away in limited quantities under insane prices. A review from Amazon: This tome is the gold standard of resources for learning most everything there is to know about classic men's dress and fashion. More of a reference work than a cover to cover read, this resource answers most of those questions that would leave most classic men's dress mentors scratching their heads. Wonderful illustrations, sketches, glossary of terms, and evolutionary commentary of most every item that can be named in the male wardrobe.
