    You, sir, are very welcome! Agree with your remarks concerning many celebrities. Seems poorly fitted and tailored clothing is fashionable. :(

    Golden Age Mini-Series

    While technically a couple of decades post Golden Age, the U.S. style alternately known as Ivy League, Trad or by the acronym TNSIL is a direct descendent of the '30's & early '40's clothing. It was a pared down mid-century modernist, minimalist interpretation of earlier styles. A prime...

    Golden Age Mini-Series

    I agree! In one way, it's surprising to see an illustrator of this evident talent confined to producing an apparently inexpensive to produce grey tone brochure/pamphlet. The stock upon which it's printed looks flimsy, and likely wouldn't have supported color printing, which of itself would have...

    Qu'est-ce qui était porté en France en 1937?

    Golden Age Mini-Series

    The following nine illustrations are from either a small catalog, or an ad section within a larger one. They appear very similar to more contemporary ads intended for the retail customer, but could instead be part of a buyer’s catalog. Staunchley appears to have been a sub brand of Society Brand...

    I'm delighted that you find them enjoyable! That's what it's all about. Very welcome, sir! Ah, yes, footwear can be addictive, and indeed there was commonly more variety of forms than can now typically be found. Seeing the two pair of leather sandals reminds me of when growing up in a...

    Six superb grey tone drawings as ads from an unknow retailer. DAKS?

    Golden Age Mini-Series

    Short series of only four illustrations. Nicely done. Can't quite make out the branding.

    Just simple grey-tone drawings on newsprint, but they've got style. Obviously French, possibly from a brochure?

    Spear point collar shirts

    Parisian shirt maker Daniel Levy makes very nice bespoke shirts, and has the highly laudable ability to create aesthetically successful collars in a seeming endless variety. Among which are some I think might be categorized as spear points.

    This next series was identified with the file name Simpsons, and appears to originate with Simpsons of Piccadilly.

    Thank you! Yes, some of the nicest work I've seen. Pity I don't know who the ultra talented illustrator was.

    What a handsome sweater!

    Golden Age Mini-Series

    This short series of 5 ad illustrations is one of my favorites. Both the for beauty of the illustrations, which I suspect are from a common hand, and the clothing being illustrated. At the time Sportex was a brand name and range of fine cloth intended for use in tailored clothing for sport, or...

    Golden Age Mini-Series

    The short answer to your questions is, I don't know. But I believe private label, otherwise known as store branding was still most common during that period, so I would suspect clothing of there's purchased during that era was most likely labeled Harry's, or some such, rather than Chicago...

    Very welcome! Glad it's enjoyable.

    Golden Age Mini-Series

    This is the balance of the 1937 Chicago Woolen Mills images that I have. (Unless I stumble upon some others in my disorderly archive! ;)) One of the things I love about this series of illustrations, in addition to the rich, if idealized, art is the myriad of forms...

    Golden Age Mini-Series

    With the forbearance of the moderators, and of fellow members, I’d like to add to the visual record of historic sartorial style. Variously defined more narrowly or more broadly, this epoch may well be typified by the styles and illustrations included in the Fedora Lounge thread and guide of...
